Strong's Hebrew · H2167
H2167 zâmar
זָמַר
zaw-mar'
to sing
Looking for Greek G2167 euphrosýnē? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H2167. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
zâmar appears 45 times in Scripture, including Judges 5:3 and 2 Samuel 22:50. In the Doxa app, open any verse that uses it, keep your notes on it, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
Definition
properly, to touch the strings or parts of a musical instrument, i.e. play upon it; to make music, accompanied by the voice; hence to celebrate in song and music
In the King James Version
give praise, sing forth praises, psalms.
Derivation
a primitive root (perhaps identical with H2168 (זָמַר) through the idea of striking with the fingers);
