An Appeal for Israel’s Repentance

To the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of Asaph.

1 Sing aloud to God our strength;
Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.
2 Raise a song and strike the timbrel,
The pleasant harp with the lute.
3 Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon,
At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
4 For athis is a statute for Israel,
A law of the God of Jacob.

Psalms 81:2

Take a psalm - zimrah . I rather think that this was the name of a musical instrument.

Bring hither the timbrel - toph ; some kind of drum or tom tom.

The pleasant harp - kinnor . Probably a sistrum, or something like it. A Stringed instrument.

With the psaltery - nebel , the nabla . The cithara , Septuagint.
