Let everything that has breath
This phrase calls upon all living creatures to participate in the act of worship. The Hebrew word for "breath" is "neshamah," which signifies the breath of life given by God to all living beings. This breath is a divine gift, a reminder of the Creator's power and presence in every aspect of life. In Genesis 2:7, God breathes life into Adam, symbolizing the intimate connection between the Creator and His creation. The call for everything with breath to praise God underscores the universality of worship, transcending human boundaries and inviting all of creation to join in glorifying the Creator.

praise the LORD
The Hebrew word for "praise" is "halal," which means to boast, celebrate, or glorify. This is the root of "Hallelujah," a term that combines "halal" with "Yah," a shortened form of Yahweh, the covenant name of God. The act of praising the LORD is not just a verbal acknowledgment but a heartfelt expression of adoration and reverence. It is a call to recognize God's sovereignty, goodness, and faithfulness. Throughout the Psalms, praise is depicted as a natural response to God's mighty works and His steadfast love. This phrase serves as a reminder that worship is both a privilege and a duty for all who acknowledge the LORD's greatness.

Hallelujah!
This exclamation is a powerful and joyful declaration of praise to God. "Hallelujah" is a transliteration of the Hebrew phrase "halelu Yah," meaning "praise Yahweh." It is an invitation to join in the chorus of worship that echoes throughout the heavens and the earth. In the context of Psalm 150, "Hallelujah" serves as both a conclusion and a climax, encapsulating the essence of the entire psalm, which is a call to worship God with every instrument, in every place, and by every creature. This word has transcended languages and cultures, becoming a universal expression of praise and a testament to the enduring power of worship.

(6) Everything that hath breath.--LXX. "every breath;" Vulg., "every spirit;" literally, all breath. We naturally wish to give these words their largest intent, and to hear the psalter close with an invocation to "the earth with her thousand voices" to praise God. But the psalm so distinctly and positively brings us into the Temple, and places us among the covenant people engaged at their devotions, that we are compelled to see here a hymn specially suited to close the collection of hymns of the covenant, as the first and second were to begin it. It is, therefore, not all breathing beings, but only all assembled in the sanctuary, that are here addressed; and the loud hallelujah with which the collection of psalms actually closes rises from Hebrew voices alone.

Verse 6. - Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord; literally, the whole of breath (comp. Revelation 5:13, "And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever;" see also Psalm 148:7, 10-12). Praise ye the Lord. "As the life of the faithful, and the history of the Church, so also the Psalter, with all its cries from the depths, runs out in a hallelujah" (Hengstenberg).
