The meaning of this Title may be understood by that which is said afore in the fourth Psalm, saving that here is added [upon Shemin•th] that is, it was played with the eighth time, note or strain, and sung with a very clear and high voice; 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 Diapason, as Musicians call it, so the meaning is; this Psalm was to be ordered by the chief Musician of that consort, to be sung and played upon the instrument Niginoth, with the highest and utmost strain of sound and voice, or instrument of ten strings.
