May alpa at lira, tamburin at plauta, at alak sa kanilang mga piging; ngunit hindi nila pinapansin ang gawa ng Walang-Hanggan, at hindi nila tinitingnan ang gawa ng Kanyang mga kamay.
Rashi
harp and lute A lute has more strings than a harp. [Perhaps Rashi explains נֵבֶל as a lyre, which may have more strings than a harp.] Now why is it called נֵבֶל? Because it disgraces (מְנַבֵּל) all kinds of musical instruments. In Midrash Tehillim (81:3).
Ibn Ezra
כנור Harp. A well-known musical instrument.21This remark is quite superfluous, but very probably the comments on נבל and חליל elicited also—for the sake of completeness—a word for כנור.
Rashi
and the work of the Lord they do not regard And in the Torah of the Lord they did not look [from Jonathan].
Rashi
and the deed of His hands they have not seen They pretended that they did not see His mighty deeds. Another explanation is: They did not praise Him in the morning by reciting, “He Who forms light,” nor in the evening, by reciting, “He Who brings on the evenings.”
