Lexicon :: Strong's G2788 - kithara

His brother was named Jubal; he was the first[fn] of all who play the lyre and the flute.

“Why did you secretly flee from me, deceive me, and not tell me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and lyres,

The king made the algum wood into walkways for the LORD’s temple and for the king’s palace and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had anything like them been seen in the land of Judah.

singing to the tambourine and lyre

and rejoicing at the sound of the flute.

Now I am mocked by their songs;

I have become an object of scorn to them.

My lyre is used for mourning

and my flute for the sound of weeping.

Praise the LORD with the lyre;

make music to him with a ten-stringed harp.

Then I will come to the altar of God,

to God, my greatest joy.

I will praise you with the lyre,

God, my God.

Wake up, my soul!

Wake up, harp and lyre!

I will wake up the dawn.

Therefore, I will praise you with a harp

for your faithfulness, my God;

I will sing to you with a lyre,

Holy One of Israel.

Lift up a song ​— ​play the tambourine,

the melodious lyre, and the harp.

with a ten-stringed harp[fn]

and the music of a lyre.

Sing to the LORD with the lyre,

with the lyre and melodious song.

Wake up, harp and lyre!

I will wake up the dawn.

Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;

play the lyre to our God,

Praise him with the blast of a ram’s horn;

praise him with harp and lyre.

At their feasts they have lyre, harp,

tambourine, flute, and wine.

They do not perceive the LORD’s actions,

and they do not see the work of his hands.

Therefore I moan like the sound of a lyre for Moab,

as does my innermost being for Kir-heres.

Pick up your lyre,

stroll through the city,

you forgotten prostitute.

Play skillfully,

sing many a song

so that you will be remembered.

The joyful tambourines have ceased.

The noise of the jubilant has stopped.

The joyful lyre has ceased.

And every stroke of the appointed[fn] staff

that the LORD brings down on him

will be to the sound of tambourines and lyres;

he will fight against him with brandished weapons.

“When you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither,[fn] lyre,[fn] harp, drum,[fn] and every kind of music, you are to fall facedown and worship the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.

Therefore, when all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and every kind of music, people of every nation and language fell down and worshiped the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

“You as king have issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, drum, and every kind of music must fall down and worship the gold statue.

“Now if you’re ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, drum, and every kind of music, fall down and worship the statue I made. But if you don’t worship it, you will immediately be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire ​— ​and who is the god who can rescue you from my power? ”
