PSAL. 6. To the chief Musitian on Niginoth upon She∣minith, a Psalm of David.

The meaning of this Title may be understood by that which is said afore in the fourth Psalm, saving that here is added [up∣on Shemin••th] that is, it was played with the eighth time, note or strain, and sung with a very clear and high voyce; we may better understand it by what is said, 1 Chron. 15.21. Mattithiah, Eliphaleh, and others were set over the base and tenor, which is the Sheminith, or the Eights, or Diapasan, as Musitians call it, so the meaning is; this Psalm was to be ordered by the chief Mu∣sitian of that consort, to be sung and played upon the instrument Niginoth, with the highest and utmost strain of sound and voyce, or instrument of ten strings.
