Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Ver. 5. Praise him upon the loud cymbals] These were, saith Cicero (in Pison.), instrumenta aerea, concava, tinnula, in matris Deorum sacris usurpata; bells, some render it. The apostle speaketh of a tinkling cymbal; and a grave divine complaineth, that God cannot please some hearers unless he speak tinkling and tickling words (Dr Stough on 2Ti 1:13).
