INSTRUMENTS OF THE LORD

Psalm 150:1,3-6 “Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with the tambourine and dancing, praise him with strings and flute, praise him with the clash of cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.”

The Scene: Musical instruments of King David’s time, used to give praise to the Lord: 1) sistrum, 2) trumpets 3) cymbals 4) flutes 5) coronets 6) drum 7) lyre 8) timbrel-tambourine 9) zither 10) harp and 11) people’s voices, songs.

2 Samuel 6:5 “David and his whole house of Israel were celebrating with all their might before the Lord with songs, and with harps, lyres, tambourines, sistrums and cymbals.”

Everything in God’s creation was made to praise the Lord. We were made to praise our God, and in so doing we become joyful and pleasing to Him.

Psalm 51:15 “O Lord open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.”

Psalm 147:1,7 “Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him. Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp.”
