Wherefore didst thou secretly flee, and rob me, - and didst not tell me, that I might send thee away with rejoicing and with songs, with timbrel and with lyre;

Then took Miriam the prophetess, sister of Aaron the timbrel in her hand, - and all the women came forth after her with timbrels and dances,

Then came Jephthah towards Mizpah, unto his own house, and lo! his daughter, coming forth to meet him, with timbrels, and with dances, - and, she, was none other than his only child, he had not, besides her, either son or daughter.

In front are the singers, Behind are the harpers, In the midst of damsels playing on timbrels:

Raise a melody, and strike the timbrel, The lyre so sweet, with the harp:

Let them praise his Name in the dance, with timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

Praise him, with timbrel and dance, - Praise him, with stringed instrument and flute,

And it shall come to pass, - that, every stroke of the staff of doom which Yahweh shall lay upon him, shall be with timbrels and with lyres, - when, with battles of brandished weapons, he hath fought against them.
