King James Bible
Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

American Standard Version
Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

Young's Literal Translation
Turn aside from Me the noise of thy songs, Yea, the praise of thy psaltery I hear not.

Amos 5:23 Additional Translations

In the first there was nothing but noise, because their hearts were not right with God; and in the latter there could be nothing but (זמרת zimrath) cutting and scraping, because there was no heart - no religious sense in the thing, and nearly as little in them that used it. See on Amos 6:5 (note).
