a.la.mot is a designation retained in a musical instruction in 1 Chronicles, while Psalm’s translation does not show its contribution.

The attested form appears as a plural absolute noun: in 1 Chronicles 15:20 it follows “according to” in an instruction for harp players, while Psalm 46:1 contains the form but its APB translation does not preserve or clarify its contribution.

    In 1 Chronicles 15:20, the plural absolute form occurs in the phrase rendered by the APB as “were to play harps according to Alamoth.” In Psalm 46:1 the same plural absolute form is attested, but the APB renders the verse as a statement about God as refuge and strength and does not represent the term separately.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Chronicles 15:20, the APB retains “Alamoth” in the musical instruction. In Psalm 46:1, the translation does not show a separate rendering for the term; Its specific contribution there remains unclear.
