Job 21:11,12 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children danceвЂ¦Д®cclesiastes 2:8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.ДЄmos 5:23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.ДЄmos 8:3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place they shall cast them forth with silence.ДЎ Chronicles 23:5 Moreover four thousand were porters and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith. Genesis 31:27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp? That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music Who strum on the strings of a harp who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David

They sing to the tune of stringed instruments like David they invent musical instruments. Who are taking part according to the stringed instrument, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music That thrum on the psaltery, That devise for themselves instruments of music, like David Like David, they write all kinds of songs for themselves.Д¬hanting to the sound of stringed instruments as if they were David, composing songs to themselves as if they were musicians, How horrible it will be for those who make up songs as they strum a harp. You like to compose songs, as David did, and play them on harps. That sing idle songs to the sound of the viol that devise for themselves instruments of music, like David You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David You sing foolish songs to the music of harps, and you make up new tunes, just as David used to do. Who excel in the sound of musical instruments they have regarded them as abiding, not as fleeting pleasures Who strike on the mouth of the harp, and like David they devised for themselves instruments of music That sing idle songs to the sound of the viol that invent for themselves instruments of music, like David They improvise songs to the sound of the harp and invent their own musical instruments like David. Who improvise to the sound of the harp- Like David they have composed songs for themselves. Who improvise to the sound of the harp, And like David have composed songs for themselves, Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments, And invent for yourselves musical instruments like David That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David You improvise songs on the harp like David and invent your own musical instruments. Who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp and like David invent for themselves instruments of music, You sing trivial songs to the sound of the harp and fancy yourselves to be great musicians like David.

You strum away on your harps like David and improvise on musical instruments.
