Altaschith. [Al-taschi'th]


Two Hebrew words untranslated in the titles of Psalms 57, 58, 59, and 75: reading in the margin 'destroy not,' and thus rendered in the LXX. The general thought is that reference is made to some air to which these Psalms were sung. The words, however, may have been taken from what David said in 1 Sam. 26: 9, "Destroy him not."
