“Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.”
The psalmist exhorts the community to praise God with the harp and the ten-stringed lyre, establishing that instrumental music forms an essential part of worship. The mention of specific instruments suggests a developed liturgical context. The imperative "Give thanks to him" emphasizes the gratitude that worship expresses. The verb "sing" appears again, suggesting that vocal praise accompanies instrumental accompaniment. The verse establishes that worship engages the full range of human expression.
