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.
