Commentary
Praise him with the timbrel and dance,.... Or "pipe" (u); See Gill on
Psa 149:3
;
praise him with stringed instruments; or divers "kinds" (w) of instruments not named, as R. Saadiah Gaon; and which, as Aben Ezra says, had all one sound or note; what they were is not known, as also many of them that are particularly mentioned;
and organs; which have their name from the loveliness of their sound; these are of ancient original and use,
Gen 4:21
; but were not of the same kind with those now in use, which are of much later invention.
(u) "et tibia", Tigurine version, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Gejerus. (w) "varia symphonia", Cocceius.
