Psalms 7:1
A musical composition <07692> [A.M. 2983. B.C. 1021. (Title.) Shiggaion.]
{Shiggaion} probably denotes a mournful song or, elegy, from the Arabic {shaga,} to be anxious, sorrowful.
concerning <01697> [words. or, business.]
Cush <03568> [Cush.]
{Cush} signifies black, an epithet, in all languages, when applied to the mind, expressive of moral turpitude; and therefore probably here applied to {Shimei,} denoting that he was a calumniator and villain.

[(Title.) {Neginah.}]
