Cross Refs in 81st Psalm

Psalm 81:2 - Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

Psalm = a psalm to be sung.

Psaltery = a stringed instrument for melody.

Harp = a stringed instrument for spiritual songs, such as the songs to drive away the evil spirit from Saul, I Samuel 16:23.

All the elements here of Colossians 3:16, Ephesians 5:19: psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing, with emphasis on melody.

Psalm 81:12 - So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

Compare Romans 1:24, 26; II Thessalonians 2:11-12.
