==Ancient harp psaltery==
The psaltery of Ancient Greece (''epigonion'') is a harp-like instrument. The word ''psaltery'' derives from the Ancient Greek ψαλτήριον (''psaltḗrion''), "stringed instrument, psaltery, harp"〔(ψαλτήριον ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 and that from the verb ψάλλω (''psállō''), "to touch sharply, to pluck, pull, twitch" and in the case of the strings of musical instruments, "to play a stringed instrument with the fingers, and not with the plectrum."〔(ψάλλω ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 The psaltery was originally made from wood, and relied on natural acoustics for sound production.
In the King James Version of the Bible, "psaltery", and its plural, "psalteries", are used to translate several words whose meaning is now unknown: the Hebrew ''keli'' (כלי) in Psalm 71:22 and I Chronicles 16:5; ''nevel'' (נבל) in I Samuel 10:5; 2 Samuel 6:5; I Kings 10:12; I Chronicles 13:8; 15:16, 20, 28; 25:1, 6; II Chronicles 5:12; 9:11; 20:28; 29:25; Nehemiah 12:27; Psalms 33:2; 57:6; 81:2; 92:3; 108:2; 144:9; and 150:3; and the Aramaic ''pesanterin'' (פסנתרין) in Daniel 3:5, 7, 10, and 15.
