Higgaion. [Higgai'on]
A Hebrew word that occurs four times, but in the A.V. is only once untranslated. This is in Psalms 9:16, where the margin reads 'that is, meditation.' It is thought by some to refer to a musical sign or instrument. Literally it means 'the sound of a harp when struck.' In Psalms 19:14 the word is translated 'meditation;' in Psalms 92:3, 'solemn sound;' and in Lamentations 3:62, 'device.'
