Find a quiet moment, relax, read Psalm 150 below and then listen to this glorious rendition composed by William Byrd (c. 1540-1623), an English convert from Anglicanism to the Catholic Church.

1 Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens! 

2 Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his excellent greatness! 

3 Praise him with trumpet sound;
praise him with lute and harp! 

4 Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe! 

5 Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals! 

6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! 

(English Standard Version Catholic Edition (n.p.: Augustine Institute, 2019), Ps 150:1–6.) For more of their music, click here.
