device, Higgaion, meditation, solemn sound
Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(meditation). Musical pause for meditation (Psa. 9:16; 19:14, 92:3 marg.).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
A Hebrew word that occurs four times, but in the AV is only once untranslated. This is in Psalm 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 Psalm 19:14 the word is translated “meditation”; in Psalm 92:3, “solemn sound”; and in Lamentations 3:62, “device.”
