First Musician: Jubal, a descendant of Cain, is credited as the “father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes” in Genesis 4:21.

Instruments: The Bible mentions a wide variety of ancient instruments, including harps, lyres, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Worship & Praise: The Book of Psalms is an entire collection of ancient songs and prayers. Psalm 150 serves as a grand finale, commanding all instruments to praise God. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Celebration & Victory: The Israelites sang after crossing the Red Sea (Exodus 15), and women danced and sang following David’s defeat of Goliath (1 Samuel 18). [1, 2, 3]

Lament & Healing: Music was utilized for grieving, such as David’s lament for Saul and Jonathan, and for spiritual healing, as seen when David played his lyre to soothe King Saul. [1, 2, 3]

Prophecy & War: Prophets often prophesied to the accompaniment of music. On the battlefield, trumpets were blown to signal troops and even bring down the walls of Jericho (Joshua 6). [1, 2]

The Gospels: Jesus and his disciples famously sang a hymn after the Last Supper (Matthew 26:30).

The Epistles: The Apostle Paul actively encouraged early Christians to use music to edify one another, specifically mentioning “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs” in Ephesians 5:19 and Colossians 3:16.
