Gill's Notes on the Bible
Take a psalm,.... Or "lift one up" y; hold up the book, and read and sing it; or rather, lift up the voice in singing a psalm:
and bring hither the timbrel; or "give one" z, put the hand to one:
the pleasant harp with the psaltery; make use of all these musical instruments in singing, and so make an agreeable melody: these were used in the times of the Old Testament, and were typical of the spiritual joy and melody in the heart, expressed by vocal singing, under the New Testament; see Revelation 5:8.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Take a psalm - literally, âLift up a psalm; perhaps, as we should say, âRaise the tune.â Or, it may mean, Take an ode, a hymn, a psalm, composed for the occasion, and accompany it with the instruments of music which are specified.
And bring hither the timbrel - For the purpose of praise. On the meaning of this word rendered âtimbrelâ - תף toÌph - see the notes at Isaiah 5:12.
The pleasant harp - On the word here rendered âharpâ - ×× ×ר kinnoÌr - see also the notes at Isaiah 5:12. The word translated âpleasantâ - × ×¢×× naÌâıÌym - means properly pleasant, agreeable, sweet, Psalms 133:1; Psalms 147:1. It is connected here with the word harp, as meaning that that instrument was distinguished particularly for a sweet or pleasant sound.
With the psaltery - On the meaning of the word used here - × ×× nebel - see the notes at Isaiah 5:12. These were the common instruments of music among the Hebrews. They were employed alike on sacred occasions, and in scenes of revelry. See Isaiah 5:12.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 81:2. Take a psalm — ×××¨× zimrah. I rather think that this was the name of a musical instrument.
Bring hither the timbrel — תף toph; some kind of drum or tom tom.
The pleasant harp — ×× ×ר kinnor. Probably a sistrum, or something like it. A STRINGED instrument.
With the psaltery. — × ×× nebel, the nabla. The cithara, Septuagint.
