Exalt the Lord, His Praise Proclaim - Christian Folk Metal

🎶🔥 A mighty folk metal rendering of “Exalt the Lord, His Praise Proclaim” — a hymn text drawn directly from Psalm 135 as versified in The Psalter (1912). With driving rhythms, soaring melodies, and ancient words of worship, this track brings the timeless call to praise into a powerful metal soundscape.

Originally crafted as a metrical psalm for congregational singing, these lyrics celebrate God’s greatness over all gods, His rule over heaven and earth, and His covenant love for His people. In this folk metal version, the psalm’s ancient echoes blend with heavy guitars, warlike drums, and folk instruments, creating a sound that is both reverent and epic.

📜 Lyrics:
Exalt the Lord, His praise proclaim;
All ye His servants, praise His Name,
Who in the Lord's house ever stand
And humbly serve at His command.
The Lord is good, His praise proclaim;
Since it is pleasant, praise His Name;
His people for His own He takes
And His peculiar treasure makes.

I know the Lord is high in state,
Above all gods our Lord is great;
The Lord performs what He decrees,
In heaven and earth, in depths and seas.
He makes the vapors to ascend
In clouds from earth's remotest end;
The lightnings flash at His command,
He holds the tempest in His hand.

Exalt the Lord, His praise proclaim;
All ye His servants, praise His Name,
Who in the Lord's house ever stand
And humbly serve at His command,
Forever praise and bless His Name,
And in the church His praise proclaim;
In Zion is His dwelling place;
Praise ye the Lord, show forth His grace.

🌌 Themes:

Praise to the Lord in His temple and among His people

God’s sovereignty over creation, storms, and seas

The covenant people as His treasured possession

Worship that unites ancient psalms with modern expression
