There was a point brought up in class, that in one of the Psalms talks of David playing a Lyre to soothe a follower of his. Someone made the connection of the Lyre on the cover of our "Book of Psalms" that the psalms themselves can be used in the same way as the lyre was, to soothe followers. I thought this was a great point made. A good use of an allegory to make that connection.
What if David played the drums? I'm not sure if that would be as soothing as a lyre, but it is still a musical instrument.
Music is a pretty common associate in religion or worship. Many religions have different instrumentation for certain songs used for certain times of the year. And lyres, for example could be a good case of an musical instrument for religious purposes.
