STATEMENT OF HALF OF THE TRUTH USED BY ALL FALSE TEACHERS.
Lynn Anderson Proof Text: Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary. Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1963. P.694.
Psalmos – “Its name in Latin and English Bibles . . . comes from the Greek, Psalmos, which means ‘twangings [of harp strings]’, and then, as a result, songs sung to the accompaniment of harps. This latter name originated in the LXX (cf. its NT authenticity, Luke 20:42) and reflects the form of the book’s poetry. The same is true of its alternate title, Psalterion, meaning ‘psaltery,’ and then, a collection of harp songs, from which comes the English term ‘Psalter.’”Vine, W.E. Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words. Old Tappan, New Jersey, 1966. Psalm – “Psalmos--primarily denoted a striking or twitching with the fingers (on musical strings); then, a sacred song, sung to musical accompaniment, a psalm. It is used (a) of the O.T. book of Psalms, Luke 20:42; 24:44; Acts 1:20; (b) of a particular psalm,
Isnt there an intention to deceive by the "...."
Psalmos, ho, twitching or twanging with the fingers, psalmoi toxôn E.Ion173 (lyr.); toxêrei psalmôi [toxeusas] Id.HF1064 (lyr.). Psalmoi toxôn does not mean "sing and play a harp" WITH a bow. Psalmoi just means pluck or twang a bow. Only in a secondary sense do we PLUCK a harp string which does not music make. Even then Psalmos is often used of evil songs.
Acts 13:33; (c) of psalms in general, I Cor. 14:26; Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16.
BUT, there are not 150 psalms in Paul's authorization. Paul didn't mention "halals" and "there was no praise service in the synagogue." Therefore, the "psalm 150" appeal repudiates music.
Delitzsch, Psalms: The word "psalm", which is derived from the Greek word psalmos, is a translation of the Hebrew term mizmor, which is the title standing at the head of fifty-seven of the psalms. Thus it is evident that not every psalm has the superscription "psalm". But it is this word which has come to be the designation of the whole book.
Thus we see that although the one hundred and fifty units are called in the Scriptures the Book of Psalms, only fifty-seven of them bear the superscription psalm (mizmor) in the Hebrew Old Testament. The title which the Book of Psalms bears in Hebrew is Sepher Tehillim - the Book of Praises. It is this Hebrew word tehillim.... In Hellenistic Greek the corresponding word psalmoi'(from psa'llein = zimeer) is the more common; the Psalm collection is called bi'blos psalmoo'n (Luke 20:42; Acts 1:20) or psaltee'rion, the name of the instrument (psanteerîn in the Book of Daniel)
"The name of psaltery entered Christian literature in the 3rd century B.C. translation of the Old Testament called the Septuagint where, in the Psalms, nebel was translated psalterion. Thus, Nebuchadnezzar's idolatrous ensemble included the Aramic psantria. Notice, also, that the book of Psalms has also become known as the Psalter (or psalterium), from the hymns sung with this harp. Source
Nebel (h5035) neh'-bel; from 5034; a skin- bag for liquids (from collapsing when empty); hence a vase (as similar in shape when full); also a lyre (as having a body of like form): - bottle, pitcher, psaltery, vessel, viol
Nabel (h5034) naw-bale'; to wilt; generally to fall away, fail, faint; figurative: to be foolish or morally wicked; to despise, disgrace: - disgrace, dishonour, lightly esteem, fade (away, - ing), fall (down, -ling, off), do foolishly, come to nought, surely, make vile, wither.Sounding brass: 2757. kenophonia, ken-of-o-nee´-ah; from a presumed compound of 2756 and 5456; empty sounding, i.e. fruitless discussion: -- vain.
Nine Muses and the Nine Magpies: a perfect "worship team".
‘Oh, cease your empty songs,
attuned to dulcet numbers, that deceive
the vulgar, untaught throng. If aught is yours
of confidence, O Thespian Deities
contend with us: our number equals yours.
We will not be defeated by your arts;
nor shall your songs prevail.-Familiar spirit: 178. owb, obe; from the same as 1 (apparently through the idea of prattling a father’s name); properly, a mumble, i.e. a water skin (from its hollow sound); hence a necromancer (ventriloquist, as from a jar): bottle, familiar spirit.
The bok of Psalms is Tehillim. Only 57 of the Book of Psalms are mizmors which Paul--a Hebrew--would command as "psalms." Only 4 of those are on Neginoth "implied a stringed instrument." However, no instrument is included in the song. Only 4 are on Neginoth "implied a stringed instrument." Only one (108) has a harp and a psaltery and the writer wants to AWAKEN his his instruments. Psalm 92 uses instruments in the text but does not PLAY on the Sabbath.
Psalm 150 is not a mizmor but a halal. All false music promoters want to get you led--and in bed--with Lucifer "the singing and harp-playing prostitute.
1984. halal, haw-lal´; a primitive root; to be clear (orig. of sound, but usually of color); to shine; hence, to make a show, to boast; and thus to be (clamorously) foolish; to rave; causatively, to celebrate; also to stultify:(make) boast (self), celebrate, commend, (deal, make), fool(-ish, -ly), glory, give (light), be (make, feign self) mad (against), give in marriage, (sing, be worthy of) praise, rage, renowned, shine. g1966 heylel or Lucifer from g1984. Lucifer was personified by the king of Tyre as the "singing and harp playing prostitute in the garden of Eden." The "snake" was really a musical enchanter(ess) based on word definition and history.
Therefore when Paul said SPEAK using PSALMS he included only non-instrumental Psalms which were not sung but cantillated meaning SPEAK.
DARE TO BE A DANIEL AND DO NOT BOW.
The word psallo never means a sacred song sung to musical accompaniment: Psallo just mens to play or pluck. You must define what is to be plucked. Plucking a harp string does not make music. Therefore, you have to define a tune.
FALSE TEACHERS ARE FORCED TO TWIST SCRIPTURE AND THEREFORE ALL RECORDED EVIDENCE.
Simple lexicons cannot be used to "define" especially to authorize what Lynn Anderson knows will spread discord but move the church into the "zone" of his birth--the Christian church--and those with whom he "runs." If someone speaks of "music that blasts" we do not use the word "music" to recommend to sober, decent society. The psallo words are based on something destructive and cannot ever carry a spiritual message. Just to let you read what the true Vine said when he EXCLUDES any instrument from the New Testament singing.
NOW RECYCLE TO UNDERSTAND THE ROOTS OF ALL MUSIC UNDER THE KING AND COMMANDERS OF THE ARMY:
Melody (Verb)
Psallo primarily "to twitch, twang,"
Ado is used always of "praise to God," [performing for an audience is excluded]
- THEN "to play a stringed instrument with the fingers," [instrument is always added and named. The plectrum is excluded to exclude guitars, organs or flutes.]
- and hence, in the Sept.,
a. "to sing with a harp," [instrument is always named if intended.]
b. sing psalms [Therefore the harp does not inhere.]- Denotes, in the NT, "to sing a hymn, sing praise;" in Eph5:19, "making melody" (for the preceding word ado,
- Elsewhere it is rendered "sing," Rom 15:9; 1 Cor 14:15; in James 5:13, RV, "let him sing praise" (AV, "let him sing psalms").
(a) intransitively, Eph 5:19; Col 3:16;
(b) transitively, Rev 5:9; Rev 14:3; Rev 15:3.
Praise [Verb]
psallo primarily,
Hymn (Noun and Verb)
- "to twitch" or "twang" (as a bowstring, etc.),
- then, "to play" (a stringed instrument with the fingers),
This pointedly EXCLUDES guitar picks, drums, flutes and organs: It is a warfar word.- in the Sept., to sing psalms,
- denotes, in the NT, to sing a hymn, sing "praise;"
- in James 5:13, RV, "sing praise" (AV, "sing psalms").
humneo akin to humnos, is used
(a) transitively, Matt 26:30; Mark 14:26, where the "hymn" was that part of the Hallel consisting of Psalms 113-118;
(b) intransitively, where the verb itself is rendered "to sing praises" or "praise," Acts 16:25; Heb 2:12.
(c) The Psalms are called, in general, "hymns," by Philo; Josephus calls them "songs and hymns."
Donald D. Markus, Performing the Book
- Hallel The Hallel through the generations, on specific occasions: Pesachim 117a
- Hallel requires a full stomach and a satisfied spirit: Taanis 25b-26a
- The reading is beloved to the people, and so they listen closely: Megillah 21b
- The Hallel as an Institution of the Prophets, to use to pray for salvation from danger: Pesachim 117a
- Reciting Hallel for a miracle which occurred outside of Israel: Megillah 14a
- Saying the Hallel daily is blasphemous: Shabbos 118b
- Therefore, as we exclude self -composed Scripture, self-composed song are excluded and theiri inclusion caused discord.
11 Hence, I argue first that the representation of the epic recital is highly dependent upon the representation of other public performances and, second, that epic's social image is attacked and reclaimed via its public performance.
In fact, behind the criticisms of the epic recital often lie issues about the performance of gender and social status.
In that regard, epic's position is parallel to that of rhetoric. Beginning with Aristotle's Rhetorica (1404a), critics of rhetorical performance have ascribed to lively delivery the same effect as that of acting. There is a persistent association between theatrics, bad rhetoric and effeminacy.
12 That this pattern of criticism was transferred onto the epic recital is ironic because the setting which brought epic into existence in Greece was public performance. In the hands of the Roman satirists and critics, however, epic's performance became subject to the same kind of scrutiny to which the public performance of rhetoric in first-century Rome was subjected.
Rhetoric was forever at pains to disentangle itself from unwanted associations with female deception and histrionic art,
because it was viewed as the art of socially weak women and slaves,
and rhetoricians of all ages have assiduously fought against any trace of bodily and vocal practice associated with these groups.A recital / reading is debased when it takes on the features of a performance.
Horace uses cantare in a derogatory sense for a mimetic, grotesque, distorted and inappropriate style of performance when he satirizes a character's recitals of Calvus and Catullus: quos neque pulcher Hermogenes umquam legit neque simius iste nil praeter Calvum et doctus cantare Catullum. (Sat. 1.10.17--19)
Psallo never means "twitch a harp": if you twitch a harp then a harp is twitched. If you twitch or yank out a hair then music you do not make. If you pluck out pubic hair you do other. The ROOT of this word speaks of DESTRUCTION and POLLUTION. Why would the Spirit of Christ use a word ROOTED in evil to praise him especially since "praise singing" is historically a form of verbal or virtual-sexaul abuse of the gods to force fertility? Fool the ROOTS and don't get taken captive by the EVIL THREAD:1 Chr 25:1 David, together with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun for the ministry of prophesying, accompanied by harps, lyres and cymbals. Here is the list of the men who performed this service:
Payne insists that the Hebrew of 1 Chronicles 25:1 unambiguously identifies these leaders as militarycommanders, an interpretation favoured by several Bible translations. (Payne, p 423-4; NASB, NIV, NKJV, NRSV, Jerusalem Bible) If military commanders had a particular interest in the appointment of musicians, it suggests a strong link between music and warfare
EASY STEP ONE:
5568. psalmos, psal-mos´;
A. from 5567;
B. a set piece of music, i.e. a sacred ode accompanied
1. with the voice, [defined as first instrument of choice in SONG]
2. harp
3. or other instrument; a “psalm”); [Paul commanded the HEART]
C. collectively, the book of the Psalms: psalm. Compare 5603
There is no INSTRUMENT included: you MAY strike a harp.All "singing" words speak of enchantment or sorcery: you sing INTENTIONALLY to do mind altering so you can pick their pockets. John says preaching, singing and playing instruments is SORCERY.
All instances where an instrument is intended it is NAMED: to say pluck has as its primary meaning to PLUCK hairs or a bowstring.
EASY STEP TWO:
Psalmos is not derived from any spiritually uplifting concept but of making war and prostitution. The praise word Chalal means to "play the flute, steal your inheritance, pollute and prostitute."
5567. psallo, psal´-lo; probably strengthened from yaw psao (to rub or touch the surface;
compare 5597);
If you look up twitch you will find psallo.
And from 5597 there is no musical content but a destructive grinding to SOP.5597. psocho, pso´-kho; prolongation from the same base as 5567;
to triturate [to grind into a fine powder]
i.e. (by analogy) to rub out (kernels from husks with the fingers or hand): — rub.
John 13:26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop,
when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop,
he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
John 13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him.
Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
John 13:30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
5568. psalmos, psal-mo A. from 5567; B. a set piece of music, i.e. a sacred ode accompanied
1. with the voice, 2. harp or, 3. or otherinstrument; a “psalm”);5597. psocho, pso´-kho; prolongation from the same base as 5567;
to triturate [to grind into a fine powder] ):-beat, wear .We noted that only four of the Psalms (Mizmor) Paul mentioned are "upon Neginoth": 4, 6, 67 and 76. You may not want to use these to deliberately sow discord:
Note that H5059 is used interchangeably with h2490 Psa. 68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;
5058. ngiynah, neg-ee-naw´; ngiynath (Psa. 61: title), neg-ee-nath´; from 5059;
Lam 3:14 I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
Psa. 69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

Psa. 87:7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
H2490 châlal khaw-lal' figuratively to profane (a person, place or thing), to break (one’s word), denominatively (from H2485 ) to play (the flute): take inheritance, pipe, playerinstruments, pollute, (cast as) profane (self), prostitute wound on .
2491. chalal, khaw-lawl´; from 2490; pierced (especially to death); figuratively, polluted:kill, profane, slain (man), x slew, (deadly) wounded.

Lev. 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
"The triumphal hymn of Moses
The musical idolatry at Mount Sinai has the same meaning and the same root
Ex. 32:6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play
2Sam. 6:5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

"The triumphal hymn of Moses had unquestionably a religious character about it; but the employment of music in religious services, though idolatrous, is more distinctly marked in the festivities which attended the erection of the golden calf." (Smith's Bible Dictionary, Music, p. 589).
The alarm outlawed for the synagogue has the same meaning"They sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play. They practiced rites in which they made themselves naked, perhaps similar to those which were carried out by naked Babylonian priests." (Woodward, p. 158).
"Not to be overlooked here is the accompaniment of music and dancing which, with the character of the ensuing phenomena, makes the diagnosis (of idolatry) certain." (Schaff-Herzog, Ecstasy, p. 71).
Num. 10:5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.

Ovid Amours 3:12
And there is hardly now a rake in Rome
But knows her rates, and thanks my babbling muse:
Her house is now as common as the stews;
For this I'm to the muse oblig'd, and more
For all the mischiefs envy has in store.
This comes of gallantry, while some employ
Their talents on the fate of Thebes and Troy,
While others Caesar's godlike acts rehearse,
Corinna is the subject of my verse.
And though Corinna in my songs is fair,
Let none conclude she's like her picture there.
The fable she with hasty faith receiv'd,
And what, so very well she lik'd, believ'd.
But since so ill she does the poet use,
'Tis time her vanity to disabuse.
therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Alawys denounced: [347c] For it seems to me that arguing about poetry is comparable to the wine-parties of common market-folk. These people, owing to their inability to carry on a familiar conversation over their wine by means of their own voices and discussions--such is their lack of education--put a premium on flute-girls by hiring the extraneous voice of the flute at a high price, and carry on their intercourse by means of its utterance.
Jesus consigned the pipers, singers and dancers to the marketplace.James A. Towle, Commentary on Plato: ProtagorasAlawys approved: But where the party consists of thorough gentlemen who have had a proper education, you will see neither flute-girls nor dancing-girls nor harp-girls, but only the company contenting themselves with their own conversation,

The tabulation of musical passages "contains a rather disproportionate number of metaphorical sentences, where music or its instruments are not to be understood literally but are used as similies or rhetorical figures. The most celebrated of these poetical passages is Paul's glorification of love in I Cor. 13." (Interpreter's Dict of the Bible, Music, p. 466).DANGER OF TWISTING SCRIPTURE
All of those defending "music" in the classroom of Christ use the "psallo" words but FAIL to grasp that the word most often speaks of making war or trying to seduce the Godly into sexual perversion.
Psalmos also appears in the LXX as equivalent to the Hebrew word neginah. This Hebrew term is used to describe a wide variety of songs. Neginah is translated by psalmos in Lam 3:14 (song), in Lam 5:14 (music) and in Ps 69:12 (song). It is striking to observe that in the LXX translation of Lam 3:14 and Ps 69:12, psalmos, or its verbal form, is used for songs uninspired but are in fact the product of the wicked, even drunkards, who mocked God and His word. The Hebrew term neginah is used elsewhere in the Hebrew Scriptures of: the songs of the wicked, Job 30:9 (song); the inspired praise of God, Psalm 61 title (Neginah-a song performed on a stringed instrument); and the uninspired praise of the Lord composed by King Hezekiah, Is 38:20 (my song).
Psa. 69:9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up;
and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
Psa. 69:10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
Psa. 69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
Psa. 69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
Psa 69:20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness:
and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.Psa 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Lam 3:11 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.7219. rosh, roshe; or rowsh (Deut. 32:32), roshe; apparently the same as 7218; a poisonous plant, probably the poppy (from its conspicuous head); generally poison (even of serpents):--gall, hemlock, poison, venom.

Psalmoi just means pluck or twang a bow.MAKING WAR AGAINST THOSE JESUS DIED TO GIVE RESTApollo's Sun Chariot 2 Kings 23:11 And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
Phoebus' [Apollo, Abbadon, Apollyon] lyre, that sings with you,[165] would not protect you from my bow. Alter your wings' course; go to the Delian lake; if you do not obey, you will steep your lovely melody in blood.[170] Ah, ah! what is this new bird that approaches; you will not place under the cornice a straw-built nest for your children, will you? My singing [psalmoi] bow will keep you off. Will you not obey?
Phoebus is Apollo or the Apollyon of Revelation: His musical worship team are called LOCUSTS and are always dirty and adulterous ready to expose themselves.

[780] But we must not hesitate. Go to the Electran gates, bid all the shield-bearers and riders of swift-footed horses to assemble, as well as all who brandish the light shield and pluck bowstrings with their hands, so that we can make an assault against[785] the Bacchae. For it is indeed too much if we suffer what we are suffering at the hands of women.Pi.N.5.21 Pindar, Nemean 5.
[15] how indeed they left the glorious island, and what divine power drove the brave men from Oenone. I will stop: it is not always beneficial for the precise truth to show her face,

[19] - But if it is resolved to praise wealth, or the strength of hands, or iron war,
[20] let someone mark off a long jump for me from this point. I have a light spring in my knees, and eagles swoop over the sea. The most beautiful chorus of Muses sang gladly for the Aeacids on Mt. Pelion, and among them Apollo, sweeping the seven-tongued lyre with a golden plectrum,[25] led all types of strains. And the Muses began with a prelude to ZeusThere joyful bands welcome the god with the cry of reed-pipes, and contend with the bold strength of their limbs.

And sweet gentle-voiced odes did not go for sale, with silvered faces, from honey-voiced Terpsichore.
Pindar, Odes Isthmian Odes Pi.I.5(4).47; My swift tongue has many arrows, to shout the praises of these heroes.
"And Sophia and Zoe caught him up and gave him [jehovah] charge of the seventh heaven, below the veil between above and below. And he is called 'God of the forces, Sabaoth', since he is up above the forces of chaos, for Sophia established him. Jehovah made himself a huge four-faced chariot of cherubim, and infinitely many angels to act as ministers, and also harps and lyres.
"Between the more known, near the Sumerians, the goddess Ereshkigal; the goddess Inanna, associated with the winged lion, or while subjugating the lion [of the tribe of Judah], having assumed on themself the wings; near the Hittites, Hebat, spouse of Teshub, represented like a matrona, up on her sacred animal, the lion; the lunar goddess Shaushka (identified with Ishtar, IIIth dynasty of Ur, accadic period, approximately 2350 BC)
"Erotic dance was a sacred ritual in ancient Egypt, common in fertility rituals and sex magick. The most famous was the erotic dance of the priestesses of Het Heret [whom the Greeks called Hathor], but also common in the temples of Bast, Aset [Isis], and Nuit.
The meaning of 'Eve' is disputed. Hawwah is explained in Genesis III. 20 as 'mother of all living'; but this may well be a Hebraicized form of the divine name Heba, hebat, Khebat or Khiba. The goddess, wife of the Hittite Storm-god, is shown riding a lion in a rock-sculpture at Hattrusas--which equates her with Anath--and appears as a form of ishtar in Hurrian texts.
She was worshipped at Jerusalem (see 27.2). Her Greek name was Hebe, Heracles's goddess-wife.

Pêktidôn psalmois krekon humnonDENOTING ONLY THE SOUND OF PLUCKING YOUNG BOYS ETC.NOMOS or singing the LAWS of Apollo (Apollyon etal) is the ONLY definition of LEGALISM.

T. Maccius Plautus, Miles Gloriosus, or The Braggart Captain
Now I will disclose to you both the subject and the name of the play which we are just now about to act, and for the sake of which you are now seated in this mirthful place , "Alazon" is the name (86)
This city is Ephesus; then, the Captain, my master, who has gone off hence to the Forum, a bragging, impudent, stinking fellow, brimful of lying and lasciviousness, says that all the women are following him of their own accord. Wherever he goes, he is the laughing stock of all; and so, the Courtesans here--since they make wry mouths at him, you may see the greater part of them with lips all awry Alazon is the name:
Jesus likened the MEN to CHILDREN in the marketplace piping trying to get others to sing (lament) and dance.Alazôn, "the boaster," he says, was the Greek name of the play. It is not known who was the Greek author from whom Plautus took this play, which is one of his best.
How better utterly condemn musical instruments associated with pagan women?1 Cor 13:1 THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Alalazo (g214) al-al-ad'-zo; from alale, (a shout, "halloo"); to vociferate, i.e. (by impl.) to wail; fig. to clang: - tinkle, wail
Mk.5:38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
a. song sung to the harp, [Psalmus does not INCLUDE the harp unless NAMED]
A song sung TO a harp means that you twang the string then seek to imitae that sound: this identifies mose uses of an instrument which was imitated but never to TEACH. Here is where the musical imposers have to go for evidence for pointIs. 23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.b. psalm, LXX 2 Ki.23.1, XXIII. Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, The man who was raised on high says, The anointed of the God of Jacob,
Here is how a harlot sings:
Is. 23:16 Take an [1] harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet [2] melody, [3] sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
c. The sweet psalmist of Israel: [2] The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me, His word was on my tongueal., Ep.Eph.5.19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;d. biblos psalmôn
Speak is the opposite of poetry or music which intends to deceive.
Ev.Luc.20.42 . And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
That is why Paul commanded "plucking your heart strings" which was a common statement.Tom Burgess etal appeal to Plutarch to prove that PSALLO meant to "Pluck the harp." However, psallo never means more that PLUCK and in this case Alexander the Great was plucking the harp to seduce a young man--he DID die a mysterious death.
Plutarch, Lives (ed. Bernadotte Perrin) [4] Such objects are to be found in virtuous deeds; these implant in those who search them out a great and zealous eagerness which leads to imitation.Again, notice the many ways the word is USED but never defined.
In other cases, admiration of the deed is not immediately accompanied by an impulse to do it. Nay, many times, on the contrary, while we delight in the work, we despise the workman, as, for instance, in the case of perfumes and dyes; we take a delight in them, but dyers and perfumers we regard as illiberal and vulgar folk. [5]
Therefore it was a fine saying of Antisthenes,
when he heard that Ismenias was an excellent piper:
"But he's a worthless man," said he, "otherwise he wouldn't be so good a piper."
And so Philip once said to his son, who, as the wine went round,
plucked the strings charmingly and skilfully,
"Art not ashamed to pluck the strings so well?"
It is enough, surely, if a king have leisure to hear others pluck the strings, and he pays great deference to the Muses if he be but a spectator of such contests.
