2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
         
                                
                        3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

                        8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
