Niginoth, A Song of Praise to God

The term “Niginoth” is written in the superscript of Psalm 4-5-6, and others that follow. These superscripts are read before many of the psalms are read, signifying stringed instruments of music. Instruments played by the fingers, or by female musicians. The term “niginoth,” may be translated,

“A Psalm of David to the master of music, who presides over the stringed instruments.” The word Niginoth is found in, Psalms 54-55-61.

In the New Testament, it is generally used meaning “a psalm, a song in praise of God.”

1 Corinthians 14:26, “Every one of you hath a psalm.”

Ephesians 5:19, “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody.”

Colossians 3:16, “Teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.” Septuagint for Hebrew, “Psalms.”
