Psalms 150:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Loud cymbals - צלצלים tseltselim. Two hollow plates of brass, which, being struck together, produced a sharp clanging sound. This instrument is still in use. What the high-sounding cymbals meant I know not; unless those of a larger make, struck above the head, and consequently emitting a louder sound.
