-SYMBOLS USED IN -ALAMOTH .(Literally virgins) A musical term which appears in 1 Chronicles
15:20 And in the title of Psalm 46:1 .(It seems to indicate the rendering of the song by female voices,
possibly soprano) -AL-TASCHITH .It appears in the titles of Psalm 57:1; 58:1; 59:1; 75:1 .(it seems to
have been used to indicate the kind of ode, or the kind of melody in which the ode should be sung.) –
HIGGAION Psalm 92:3 .(According to Gesenius, it signifies the murmuring tone of a harp, and hence that
the music should be rendered in a plaintive manner.) Psalm 9:16 .(Combined with \”Selah,\” it may have
been intended to indicate a pause in the vocal music while the instruments rendered an interlude.) Psalm
19:14 .(Mendelssohn translates it \”meditation, thought.\” Hence, the music was to be rendered in a mode to
400
promote devout meditation.) -MAKALATH, MASCHIL, LEANNOTH .These terms are found in the titles
of Psalm 53:1; 88:1 .(Authorities grope in darkness as to their signification. They may indicate the
instruments to be played, or the melody to be sung) -MASCHIL .This musical sign occurs in the titles of
Psalm 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 .(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, Psalm 47:7: \” Sing ye praises with
understanding.\”) -MICAHTAM A musical term in the titles of Psalm 16:1; 56:1; 57:1; 58:1; 59:1; 60:1
.(Luther interprets this as \”golden,\” that is, \”precious.\” Ewald interprets it as signifying a plaintive manner.)
-MUTH-LABBEN .In the title of Psalm 9: 1 .(Authorities, ancient and modern, differ as to the probable
signification. Gesenius and Deuteronomy 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.) -NEGINAH and NEGINOTH Appear in the titles of Psalm 4:1; 54:1; 55:1; 61:1; 67:1; Hab 3:19 .(Its
use seems to have been to indicate that the song should be accompanied by stringed instruments.) –
NEHILOTH Appears in the title of Psalm 5:1 .(It seems to indicate, according to Gesenius, that when this
Psalm was sung it was to be accompanied by wind instruments.) -SELAH .(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.) -SHEMINITH .In the titles of Psalm 6:1; 12: 1 .(Translated \”eighth,\”
probably indicates the measure, movement, or pitch.) -SHIGGAION .In the title of Psalm 7:1 And its
plural, SHIGIONOTH, in the title of Hab 3:1 .(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.) -SHOSHANNIM and
SHUSHAN-EDUTH .In the titles to Psalm 45: 1 ; 60: 1 ; 69: 1 ; 80: 1 .(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.)
