Psalms 81:1-3
Psalms 81:1-5 The Message (MSG)
A song to our strong God! a shout to the God of Jacob! Anthems from the choir, music from the band, sweet sounds from lute and harp, Trumpets and trombones and horns: it’s festival day, a feast to God! A day decreed by God, solemnly ordered by the God of Jacob. He commanded Joseph to keep this day so we’d never forget what he did in Egypt. I hear this most gentle whisper from One I never guessed would speak to me
Psalms 81:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery. Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, In the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Psalms 81:1-3 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

Lord, just singing about you makes me strong! So I’ll keep shouting for joy to Jacob’s God, my champion. Let the celebration begin!

Blow it before every joyous celebration and festival.
