shu.shan e.dut is used in Psalm headings as part of the stated musical or instructional setting.

Senses in use

  1. Heading designation · dominant

    In Psalm 60:1, the singular absolute noun appears in the opening line before the APB renders the psalm's setting as "To the conductor, upon Shushan-eduth; a Miktam of David, for instruction." In Psalm 80:1, the same form likewise belongs to the heading before the APB begins the appeal, "Shepherd of Israel, give ear."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly retains "Shushan-eduth" in the heading of Psalm 60:1. In Psalm 80:1, the supplied translation begins with the prayer and does not visibly reproduce the term; Its specific rendering there is unclear.
