mikh.tam is a recurring Psalm label, preserved by the APB in two openings and left unrepresented in four.

The attested evidence presents this noun as a recurring label in Psalm openings rather than as a term whose contribution can be defined from the surrounding translation. The APB explicitly includes “A Miktam of David” in Psalm 16:1 and “a Miktam of David” in Psalm 60:1, while its renderings of Psalm 56:1, Psalm 57:1, Psalm 58:1, and Psalm 59:1 begin directly with the psalm’s address or question.
