Then you will go to the Hill of God in Gibeah, where there is a Philistine camp. At the entrance to the town you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the altar on the hill, playing harps, drums, flutes, and lyres. They will be dancing and shouting.

Give thanks to the LORD with harps, sing to him with stringed instruments.

Shout for joy to God our defender; sing praise to the God of Jacob!

Start the music and beat the tambourines; play pleasant music on the harps and the lyres.

with the music of stringed instruments and with melody on the harp.

Praise him with trumpets. Praise him with harps and lyres.
