John Gill Commentary Psalms 150:4

"Praise him with timbrel and dance: Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe." — Psalms 150:4 (ASV)

Praise him with the timbrel and dance
Or "pipe" ^F21 ; (See Gill on Psalms 149:3);

praise him with stringed instruments ;
or divers "kinds" ^F23 of instruments not named, as R. Saadiah Gaon; and which, as Aben Ezra says, had all one sound or note; what they were is not known, as also many of them that are particularly mentioned;

and organs ;
which have their name from the loveliness of their sound; these are of ancient original and use, (Genesis 4:21) (Job 21:12) (30:31) ; but were not of the same kind with those now in use, which are of much later invention.
