Moreover, David and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments, and with cymbals.

I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty- four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.

four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet! Praise him with harp and lyre!Praise him with tambourine and dancing! Praise him with stringed instruments and flute!Praise him with loud cymbals! Praise him with resounding cymbals!

It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High,to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,with the ten- stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
