Sheminith


Psa 6:1  To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath. 
Psa 6:2  Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled. 
Psa 6:3  My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O LORD—how long? 
Psa 6:4  Turn, O LORD, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love...

This Psalm was to be made into music using stringed instruments according to the Sheminith. The concordance was not sure what the meaning was, it may have been an eight stringed instrument, or a notation to be played in a lower octave, as in a man's lower voice...

Looking for Sheminith on YouTube , I found a wonderful men's quintet from the Solomon islands.
