Psalms 108:2

A church father on this verse
“"Arise, O psaltery and harp." O psaltery, O harp, you were made and created to make melody to God: arise and make melody, why do you lie idle? O monk, you who stand upright in body, why does your soul lie idle, and you do not make melody to the Lord? "Cursed is the man who does the work of God negligently." If you are…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Homily 34, on Psalm 107
