Contextual Overview

1 Reioyce in God O ye righteous: for prayse becommeth well the iust. 2 Confesse [it] to god with the harpe: sing psalmes vnto hym with the viall, and with the instrument of ten stringes. 3 Sing vnto him a new song: do it cunningly, make a sweete noyse with your musicall instrumentes alowde. 4 For the word of God is right: and euery worke of his done in fayth. 5 He loueth righteousnes & iudgement: the earth is ful of the goodnes of God. 6 By the worde of God are the heauens made: and all the hoastes of them by the breath of his mouth. 7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as it were vpon an heape: and layeth vp the deepe as treasures. 8 Let all the earth feare God: let all they that dwell in the worlde stande in awe of him. 9 For he spake and it was: he commauded, and it was brought to passe. 10 God bringeth the counsell of the Heathen to naught: and maketh the deuises of the people to be of none effect.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Praise the Lord with harp,.... An instrument David was well skilled in the use of, the inventor of which was Jubal, Genesis 4:21;

sing unto, him with the psaltery; the name of this instrument is in the Hebrew language "nebel": the account which Josephus w gives of this, and of the former, is,

"the harp is extended with ten strings, and is plucked with a quill; the "nabla", or psaltery, has twelve sounds, and is played upon with the fingers;''

some make this and the next to be the same:

[and] an instrument of ten strings; and read them together thus, "with the psaltery of ten strings": and so the Targum, Septuagint, and other versions x: but it seems from Josephus that it was not a stringed instrument, but had holes, and those twelve; and besides it is distinguished from the instrument of ten strings, Psalms 92:3; it was in the form of a bottle, from whence it had its name.

w Antiqu. l. 7. c. 12. s. 3. x Vid. Jarchium in loc. & R. Mosem in Aben Ezra in loc.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Praise the Lord with harp - For a description of the “harp,” see the notes at Isaiah 5:12.

Sing unto him with the psaltery - For the meaning of this word, also, see the notes at Isaiah 5:12, where the word is rendered “viol.”

And an instrument of ten strings - The word “and” is supplied here by the translators as if, in this place, a third instrument was referred to, distinct from the harp and the psaltery. The more correct rendering, however, would be, “a psaltery (or lyre) of ten strings.” The same construction occurs in Psalms 144:9. In Psalms 92:3, however, the two words are separately used as denoting different instruments. The “lyre” or psaltery was probably not always made with the same number of strings, and it would seem that the one that was made of “ten” strings had something special about it as an instrument of uncommon sweetness or power. Hence, it is particularly designated here; and the idea is that the instruments of especial power and sweetness should be on this occasion employed in the service of God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 33:2. Praise the Lord with harp — כנור kinnor; probably something like our harp: but Calmet thinks it the ancient testudo, or lyre with three strings.

The psalter — נבל nebel. Our translation seems to make a third instrument in this place, by rendering עשור asor, an instrument of ten strings; whereas they should both be joined together, for נבל עשור nebel-asor signifies the nebal, or nabla, with ten strings, or holes. Calmet supposes this to have resembled our harp. In one of Kennicott's MSS., this Psalm begins with the second verse.
