'Songs' in the Bible

“Take the noise of your songs away from Me [they are an irritation]!I shall not even listen to the melody of your harps.

Who improvise to the sound of the harp—Like David they have composed songs for themselves—

In that day, the songs of the palace shall turn to wailing,” says the Lord God. “There will be many dead bodies; in [sacred] silence they will throw them everywhere.”

“And I shall turn your festivals and feasts into mourningAnd all your songs into dirges (funeral poems to be sung);And I shall cause sackcloth to be put on everyone’s loinsAnd baldness on every head [shaved for mourning].And I shall make that time like a time of mourning for an only son [who has died],And the end of it shall be like a bitter day.
