Strong's Lexicon miqsam: Miktam Original Word: מִקְסָם Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to engrave or inscribe Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "miqtam" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term related to the Psalms. Usage: The term "miqtam" is used in the titles of six psalms (Psalms 16, 56, 57, 58, 59, and 60) and is often translated as "Miktam" in English Bibles. The exact meaning of "miqtam" is uncertain, but it is traditionally understood to denote a type of psalm or musical term, possibly indicating a "golden" or "precious" composition, or one that is "inscribed" or "engraved" due to its enduring value. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Hebrew poetry and music, terms like "miqtam" were used to categorize or describe the nature of a psalm. The Psalms attributed with this title are often associated with David and reflect themes of trust in God amidst adversity. The use of such terms indicates a rich tradition of musical and poetic expression in ancient Israel, where psalms served both liturgical and personal devotional purposes.
