Team definition
Earlier the verb means to pull or twang, then to play a stringed instrument, and later to sing to a harp or sing a hymn of praise. In the New Testament it is used of singing praise. Rom 15:9 uses it with a dative of the person praised, in a citation. The entry does not decide what instrument, if any, is in view.
