2. Awake, psaltery and harp. As if he
could not be content with voice alone, but must use the well-tuned strings, and
communicate to them something of his own liveliness. Strings are wonderful
things when some people play upon them; they seem to become sympathetic and incorporated
with the minstrel, as if his very soul were imparted to them and thrilled
through them. Only when a thoroughly enraptured soul speaks in the instrument
can music be acceptable with God. I myself will awake early. I will call
up the dawn. The best and brightest hours of the day will find me heartily
aroused to bless my God. In all worship this should be the personal resolve of
each worshiper.
