The chapel is open from 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and 12.30pm to 5pm on Sunday.
The verse is located beneath the chapels organ and is above and behind anyone entering by the main door. The inscription reads:
Priase Him with the sound of the trumpet
Praise Him with stringed instruments
and organs
Psalm CL
The Bible Hub website, from the King James Bible, gives the verse as:
Praise you the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the lute and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and pipes.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the clashing cymbals.
Let every thing that has breath praise the LORD. Praise you the LORD.
As can be seen, the word "pipes" in the verse, above, has been changed to "organs" in the chapel.
The Old Royal Naval College website Tells us about the organ:
The Chapel organ is a fine example and the largest in situ work of Samuel Green, the leading organ builder of his day. Its case is made of Spanish mahogany and the organ gallery is supported on six fluted marble columns. It was completed in 1789 and is used almost every day by organ scholars.
