Psalms 150:3 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. The sound of the trumpet - שופר sophar, from its noble, cheering, and majestic sound; for the original has this ideal meaning.

With the psaltery - נבל nebel; the nabla, a hollow stringed instrument; perhaps like the guitar, or the old symphony.

And harp - כנור kinnor, another stringed instrument, played on with the hands or fingers.
