In Psalm 81:3, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the call to blow the trumpet at the full moon on the feast day, though the translation does not isolate the term's specific English contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly presents the term in 2 Samuel 23:1 through "the musical song of Israel." In Psalm 81:3 it gives the trumpet-and-feast setting without a clearly isolated rendering.
