Psalms 81:2 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

Take a psalm - `raise the psalm.'

And bring hither the timbrel - literally, 'give' it. Or else, 'cause it to give forth its sound' (Maurer).

With the psaltery - or 'lyre;' Hebrew, naabel (H5035) (note, Psalms 33:2).
