Shushan-Eduth is either the name of some instrument to be played upon in singing this Psalm, or the beginning of some song, so called according to the tune wherewith David would have this Psalm sung; or Michtam (i.) an excellent song which may be sung, either upon the instrument or tune Shushan-Eduth, or that of Michtam.
