singing to the tambourine and lyre

and rejoicing at the sound of the flute.

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.

I turn my ear to a proverb;

I explain my riddle with a lyre.

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]

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

praise him with harp and lyre.

so that you will be remembered.

The joyful tambourines have ceased.

The noise of the jubilant has stopped.

The joyful lyre has ceased.

will be to the sound of tambourines and lyres;

he will fight against him with brandished weapons.
