Psalms 150
Every verse links to the people and places named in it, and to the passages readers connect it with.
The chapter
What happens here
Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.
The musicians are named one by one, and then the invitation widens until nothing breathing is left outside it.
Praise in the heightsvv. 1–2
Praise rises in the sanctuary and the mighty heavens alike. The reason given is God’s mighty acts and excellent greatness, which is a rather grand opening before the instruments have even been unpacked.
The orchestra appearsvv. 3–5
The sound now acquires a splendid inventory: horn, harp, lyre, tambourine, dancing, strings, flute, and two kinds of cymbals. The psalm names both “clashing” and “resounding” cymbals, then leaves the distinction charmingly unexplained.
Everything with breathv. 6
At the last, praise is no longer assigned to musicians alone. Everything that has breath is summoned, and the psalm closes with another Hallelujah.
The text
Read it
Berean Standard Bible, public domain. Names the Hebrew and Greek put in the verse link to the person, place or people they name; the address beside each verse is a link to that verse, which is what a reader copies and shares.
Ps 150:1Hallelujah! Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in His mighty heavens.
Ps 150:2Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him for His excellent greatness.
Ps 150:3Praise Him with the sound of the horn; praise Him with the harp and lyre.
Ps 150:4Praise Him with tambourine and dancing; praise Him with strings and flute.
Ps 150:5Praise Him with clashing cymbals; praise Him with resounding cymbals.
Ps 150:6Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Hallelujah!

Who else the chapter reaches
Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.
Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.
Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
