9 SYMBOLS USED IN
10 ALAMOTH
10.1 (Literally virgins)
10.2 A musical term which appears in
10.3 And in the title of
10.4 (It seems to indicate the rendering of the song by female voices, possibly soprano)
11 AL-TASCHITH
11.1 It appears in the titles of
11.2 (it seems to have been used to indicate the kind of ode, or the kind of melody in which the ode should be sung.)
12 HIGGAION
12.1 (According to Gesenius, it signifies the murmuring tone of a harp, and hence that the music should be rendered in a plaintive manner.)
12.2 (Combined with "Selah," it may have been intended to indicate a pause in the vocal music while the instruments rendered an interlude.)
12.3 (Mendelssohn translates it "meditation, thought." Hence, the music was to be rendered in a mode to promote devout meditation.)
13 MAKALATH, MASCHIL, LEANNOTH
13.1 These terms are found in the titles of
13.2 (Authorities grope in darkness as to their signification. They may indicate the instruments to be played, or the melody to be sung)
14 MASCHIL
14.1 This musical sign occurs in the titles of
Ps 32:1; 42:1; 44:1; 45:1; 52:1; 53:1; 54:1; 55:1; 74:1; 78:1; 88:1; 89:1; 142:1
14.2 (The meaning is obscure. But its signification where it occurs elsewhere than in the titles of Psalms is equivalent to the English word "instruction," or to become wise by instruction; hence, Ps 47:7: "Sing ye praises with understanding.")
15 MICAHTAM
15.1 A musical term in the titles of
Ps 16:1; 56:1; 57:1; 58:1; 59:1; 60:1
15.2 (Luther interprets this as "golden," that is, "precious." Ewald interprets it as signifying a plaintive manner.)
16 MUTH-LABBEN
16.1 In the title of
16.2 (Authorities, ancient and modern, differ as to the probable signification. Gesenius and De Wette interpret it, "with the voice of virgins, by boys." Others derive the word from a different Hebrew root, and interpret it as indicating that the Psalm was a funeral ode.)
17 NEGINAH and NEGINOTH
17.1 Appear in the titles of
Ps 4:1; 54:1; 55:1; 61:1; 67:1; Hab 3:19
17.2 (Its use seems to have been to indicate that the song should be accompanied by stringed instruments.)
18 NEHILOTH
18.1 Appears in the title of
18.2 (It seems to indicate, according to Gesenius, that when this Psalm was sung it was to be accompanied by wind instruments.)
19 SELAH
19.1 (This term appears frequently in the Psalms. Its use is not known. Possibly it signified a pause in the vocal music while an instrumental interlude or finale was rendered.)
20 SHEMINITH
20.1 In the titles of
20.2 (Translated "eighth," probably indicates the measure, movement, or pitch.)
21 SHIGGAION
21.1 In the title of
21.2 And its plural, SHIGIONOTH, in the title of
21.3 (Supposed to be a musical term to guide in rendering the song. At the close of the chapter, the author refers the ode "to the chief musician, on my stringed instruments." The term may suggest the movement in interpreting the music set to it.)
22 SHOSHANNIM and SHUSHAN-EDUTH
22.1 In the titles to
22.2 (Seems to indicate the manner in which these Psalms were to be rendered. Kimchi, Tremellius, and Eichhorn render it "hexachorda," that is, that in singing these Psalms instruments of six strings were to accompany.)
