It is mentioned in several Psalms (e.g., <a href="/psalms/33-2.htm">Psalm 33:2, 144</a>:9) and was likely similar to a lyre or a small harp. The number ten may symbolize completeness or perfection, reflecting the fullness of praise offered to God. The use of stringed instruments in worship highlights the importance of music in the spiritual life of Israel, serving as a means to express joy, gratitude, and reverence. The harp's inclusion in temple worship (<a href="/1_chronicles/25.htm">1 Chronicles 25:1-6</a>) underscores its role in leading the congregation in praise.<p><b>and the melody of the lyre</b><br>The lyre, or "kinnor" in Hebrew, is another stringed instrument frequently mentioned in the Bible. It was portable and versatile, used in both secular and sacred contexts. The lyre's melody is associated with joy and celebration, as seen in <a href="/2_samuel/6-5.htm">2 Samuel 6:5</a>, where David and the Israelites celebrated before the Lord with lyres. The lyre's use in worship signifies the blending of art and devotion, where music becomes a vehicle for spiritual expression. The combination of harp and lyre in this verse suggests a harmonious and rich musical offering, symbolizing the beauty and depth of worship that is pleasing to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/psalmist.htm">Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/92.htm">Psalm 92</a>, traditionally attributed to David, who is expressing praise and worship to God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/temple_worship.htm">Temple Worship</a></b><br>The context of this Psalm is likely related to temple worship, where music played a significant role in the liturgical practices of ancient Israel.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/musical_instruments.htm">Musical Instruments</a></b><br>The ten-stringed harp and the lyre are mentioned, highlighting the importance of music in worship.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_music_in_worship.htm">The Role of Music in Worship</a></b><br>Music is a powerful tool for expressing worship and adoration to God.
