The singers are in front. The musicians are behind them. The young women beating tambourines are between them.

Sing a song and strike the tambourine. Play the sweet sounding lyre with the harp.

Let them praise his name with dancing. Let them make music to him with tambourines and lyres.

Praise him with tambourines and dancing. Praise him with stringed instruments and flutes.

To the sound of tambourines and lyres, Jehovah will pound on them. He will fight them in battle, swinging his fists (displaying his power).
