Psalms 150:4

Ver. 4. Praise him with the timbrel and dance,.... Or "pipe" {u}; See Gill on "Ps 149:3";

praise him with stringed instruments; or divers "kinds" {w} of instruments not named, as R. Saadiah Gaon; and which, as Aben Ezra says, had all one sound or note; what they were is not known, as also many of them that are particularly mentioned;

and organs; which have their name from the loveliness of their sound; these are of ancient original and use, Ge 4:21; but were not of the same kind with those now in use, which are of much later invention.

{u} lwxmw "et tibia", Tigurine version, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Gejerus. {w} Mynmb "varia symphonia", Cocceius.
