The Psalms which bear this name in the title, are not less blessed for our ignorance on this point; though if it be, as it is possible it may have, a reference to the Lord Jesus Christ, it would be gratifying to know it. </p> <p> See [[Musician]] </p> | ||

Gittith', '''''גַּתַּית''''' , prob. for '''''נְגֶנֶת''''' , and so kindred with [[Neginoth]] a stringed instrument of music ( Psalms 8:1; Psalms 81:1; Psalms 84:1). The term seems to be derived (with the Targums) from the city GATH, not (with the Sept. '''''Ὑπὲρ''''' '''''Τῶν''''' '''''Ληνῶν''''' ) from a wine-press (as a vintage-song, ''Michael. Suppl'' . page 382); nor from the root '''''נָגִן''''' , to strike (Redslob, [[De]] praecepto ''Nus.,'' etc., Lips. 1831, page 24), Gesenius, ''Tanes. Hebr.'' page 849. On the other hand, Furst (Concord. page 256) derives it from '''''גָּתִת''''' , to deepen, and calls it "a musical instrument curved and hollow (syn. '''''חָלַיל''''' );" as in his ''Heb.'' Lex. page 304, he says it is the name of "a musical body of [[Levites]] who had their chief seat in the [[Levitical]] city of Gath-rimmon, the word in the titles of Psalms not being capable of an interpretation referringr to instruments or airs." (See Psalms). </p> | ||
