Quick answer

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD! The Psalter ends with a final, universal call to worship.

The verse expands praise beyond Israel — every breathing creature joins.

"Praise the LORD!" doubled — Hebrew Hallelu-Yah! — closes the Psalter on a single note: praise.
