In biblical context, "breath" signifies life, as seen in <a href="/genesis/2-7.htm">Genesis 2:7</a>, where God breathes life into Adam. This call to worship extends beyond humanity to all of creation, reflecting the idea that all life is sustained by God and should, therefore, honor Him. The Hebrew word for "breath" (neshamah) is often associated with the spirit or life force, underscoring the intrinsic connection between life and the divine.<p><b>praise the LORD!</b><br>The act of praising the LORD is central to the Psalms and the life of believers. The term "LORD" here is the translation of the Hebrew name Yahweh, the covenant name of God, highlighting His personal relationship with His people. Praise in the biblical sense involves acknowledging God's attributes, works, and character. This call to praise is not just a suggestion but a command, reflecting the rightful response of creation to its Creator. The Psalms frequently depict praise as a communal and individual act, as seen in <a href="/psalms/148.htm">Psalm 148</a>, where all elements of creation are called to worship.<p><b>Hallelujah!</b><br>This exclamation is a transliteration of the Hebrew phrase "Hallelu Yah," meaning "Praise the LORD." It serves as both a command and an expression of joy and reverence. "Hallelujah" is used throughout the Psalms and is a declaration of God's sovereignty and goodness. In the New Testament, the term appears in <a href="/revelation/19.htm">Revelation 19</a>, where it is associated with the ultimate victory and reign of God. This word encapsulates the essence of worship and is a fitting conclusion to the Psalter, summarizing the purpose and destiny of all creation: to glorify God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/150.htm">Psalm 150</a>, traditionally attributed to King David, who is known for his deep devotion and musical contributions to worship.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal, self-existent nature and His relationship with His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/c/creation.htm">Creation</a></b><br>The phrase "everything that has breath" encompasses all living creatures, highlighting the universality of the call to worship.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_temple.htm">The Temple</a></b><br>While not explicitly mentioned in this verse, the context of the Psalms often relates to worship practices centered around the Temple in Jerusalem.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/h/hallelujah.htm">Hallelujah</a></b><br>A Hebrew word meaning "Praise the LORD," used as both an exhortation and a declaration of worship.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/universal_call_to_worship.htm">Universal Call to Worship</a></b><br>Every living being is called to praise the LORD, emphasizing the inclusivity and universality of worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/b/breath_as_a_gift.htm">Breath as a Gift</a></b><br>Recognize that our very breath is a gift from God, and use it to glorify Him in all aspects of life.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/praise_as_a_lifestyle.htm">Praise as a Lifestyle</a></b><br>Worship is not confined to a specific time or place but should be a continuous expression of gratitude and reverence.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_hallelujah.htm">The Power of Hallelujah</a></b><br>Understand the significance of "Hallelujah" as both a personal declaration and a communal call to worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/creation's_testimony.htm">Creation's Testimony</a></b><br>Reflect on how all of creation, by its existence, testifies to the greatness of God and joins in the chorus of praise.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_150.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 150</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_do_the_ketuvim_teach.htm">What wisdom and teachings do the Ketuvim offer?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_the_principle_of_double_effect.htm">Should we praise the Lord?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_are_the_poetic_books_of_the_bible.htm">What wisdom and teachings do the Ketuvim offer?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/should_we_praise_the_lord.htm">Should we praise the Lord?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/150.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(6) <span class= "bld">Everything that hath breath.--</span>LXX.
