 Psaltery
    a musical instrument, supposed to have been a kind of lyre, or a
    harp with twelve strings. The Hebrew word nebhel, so rendered,
    is translated "viol" in Isa. 5:12 (R.V., "lute"); 14:11. In Dan.

    which is supposed to be a word of Greek origin denoting an
    instrument of the harp kind.
