Commentary on Psalms 33:2

Theological / Devotional

Harp. Heb. kinnor, literally, “lyre” (see p. 34).

Psaltery. Heb. nebel, an instrument like the harp (see p. 33). The word “and” does not occur in the Hebrew text. It is more natural to translate the phrase, “with a harp of ten strings.” Only the best is good enough for the worship of Jehovah. For a general discussion of instruments used in the ancient Temple service see pp. 29–42.
