Key Passages
David and all the Israelites were celebrating before God with all their might, with songs and on harps and lyres, with tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the LORD with one voice. They lifted up their voices, accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, in praise to the LORD:“For He is good;His loving devotion endures forever.”And the temple, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud
Then Moses recited aloud to the whole assembly of Israel the words of this song from beginning to end:
They no longer sing and drink wine;strong drink is bitter to those who consume it.
Like one who removes a garment on a cold dayor vinegar poured on a wound is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
