In Psalm 73, of Asaph, we read that the author was angry and discontent with the sleekness and seeming prosperity of the wicked.

Asaph is one of my favorite men written about in the Bible. How he passed the truth down to generation after generation is very encouraging to me. Could you tell me what your understanding of prophesying with our instruments is? That is something I ponder over often. Great question. But God does use it to affect our emotions, as we see in 2 Kings , 1 Sam.
Is that helpful? I also discovered from another online source by Dennis McKorkle, that the melodious cymbals which Asaph sounded I Chr ,7 made a perfectly pure tone by which other instruments were tuned. When I studied Ps 81, I discovered a series of 5 instructions which were to followed.
Psalms 81 certainly declares it is. This post is a blessing and inspiration…its also an admonition that the place of good music and spiritual and truthfull worship is essential in the house of God as worship is a necessity.
