La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
Praise Him in the sanctuary
Praise Him in the mighty Heavens
Praise Him
All the earth praise Him
Praise Him in His awesome power
Praise His great and holy name
Praise Him
The whole world praise Him
From the rising of the sun
Let His praise be heard
From the east to the west
And the north to south
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord forever
Let everything in my soul
Praise the Lord
