Then David told the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their relatives as the singers, with instruments of music—harps, lyres, and cymbals—to play loudly and to raise sounds of joy [with their voices].

Moreover, David and the commanders of the army selected for the [temple] service some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who were to [fn]prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals. The list of the musicians who performed their service was as follows:

Hezekiah stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with harps, and with lyres, in accordance with the command of David [his ancestor] and of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for the command was from the LORD through His prophets.

Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites from all their places in order to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, with hymns of thanksgiving, and with songs to the accompaniment of cymbals, harps, and lyres.

“They lift up their voices and sing to the tambourine and the lyre

And rejoice to the sound of the flute.

“Therefore my lyre (harp) is used for [the sound of] mourning,

And my flute for the [sound of the] voices of those who weep.

Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;

Sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings.

Then I will go to the altar of God,

To God, my exceeding joy;

With the lyre I will praise You, O God, my God!

I will incline my ear and consent to a proverb;

On the lyre I will unfold my riddle.

Awake, my glory!

Awake, harp and lyre!

I will awaken the dawn.

I will also praise You with the harp,

Your truth and faithfulness, O my God;

To You I will sing praises with the lyre,

O Holy One of Israel.

Raise a song, sound the timbrel,

The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.

With an instrument of ten strings and with the harp,

With a solemn sound on the lyre.

Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre,

With the lyre and the sound of melody.

Awake, harp and lyre;

I will awaken the dawn!

On the willow trees in the midst of Babylon

We hung our harps.

Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;

Sing praises to our God with the lyre,

Let them praise His name with dancing;

Let them sing praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre.

Praise Him with trumpet sound;

Praise Him with harp and lyre.

They have lyre and harp, tambourine and flute, and wine at their feasts;

But they do not regard nor even pay attention to the deeds of the LORD,

Nor do they consider the work of His hands.

Therefore my heart sounds like a harp [in mournful compassion] for Moab,

And my inner being mourns for Kir-hareseth.

Take a harp, walk around the city,

O forgotten prostitute;

Play the strings skillfully, sing many songs,

That you may be remembered.

The mirth of the timbrels (tambourines) ceases,

The noise of those who rejoice ends,

The joy of the harp ceases.

And every blow of the rod of punishment,

Which the LORD will lay on them,

Will be to the music of Israel’s tambourines and lyres;

And in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight Assyria.
