Psalms 59:1-4

59:1

[A.M. 2942. B.C. 1062. (Title.) {Al-tas-chith.} or, destroy not. A golden Psalm.]

prayer <04387> [Michtam.]

The seven poems of the celebrated Arabian poets who flourished before the time of Mohammed, called {MoÆ’llakat,} from being suspended on the walls of the temple of Mecca, were also called {Modhabat,} "golden," because they were written in letters of gold on the papyrus; and probably this is another reason why the six poems of David were called golden.
