Shoshannim was an instrument amongst the Jews, that had six strings, according to the Lilly that hath six leaves or stems, thereby called Hexachorda, upon which instrument this Psalm was delivered by David to be sung to, and played to by Corah and his posterity; it begins with the word Maschil (as afore) (i.) To give instruction to Gods people, touching the spiritual marriage and love between Christ and his Church, whereof Solomons marriage with Pharaohs daughter, was a figure and type; and likewise to show the perfect love that ought to be between the husband and the wife; hence called, A song of loves, not unlike to Solomons Canticles: And some put this difference between a Song and a Psalm; that, where no instrument, but the voice only is; this, the contrary; the Song is, when the instrument begins, and the voice follows; a Psalm, when the voice or ditty begins, and the instrument follows.
