The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 150:1

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary. This is the right rendering, and not that of the Prayer-book Version, "Praise God in his holiness." Israel is called upon to give God praise in his holy temple.

Praise him in the firmament of his power; i.e. in the broad expanse of heaven, the sign and seat of his power.
