Bible Commentary

Psalms 150:3

The trumpet (shofar) was Israel's most powerful and sacred instrument, used for great announcements. The harp brought melody. Together they represent the full range of musical praise — loud and lyrical.

Memory phrase: Play for God with everything you have!

Talk about it: Have you ever heard a trumpet? What does it sound like? Why do you think God likes loud music?

Prayer: Lord, I want to make music for You — with whatever I have. Every sound of praise is Yours!
