To the director: On the gittith. One of Asaph’s songs.

81 Be happy and sing to God, our strength.
    Shout with joy to the God of Jacob.
Begin the music.
    Play the tambourines.
    Play the pleasant harps and lyres.
Blow the ram’s horn at the time of the new moon[a]
    and at the time of the full moon,[b] when our festival begins.
