Text: [Heb.] This word, which occurs in Ps. xlv. 8, and Ps. cl. 4, is probably a poetical allusion to stringed instruments generally. It is so rendered in the Bible and Prayer-book versions of the latter psalm. "Praise him with stringed instruments and organs." (Bible) "Praise him upon the stringsd andpipe" (Prayer-book). In order to bring out its meaning in Ps. xlv. 8, it has been proposed to alter thetext thus: "out ofthe ivory palaces, stringed isntruments have made thee glad."
