(sshihg gay' ahn) Transliteration of a Hebrew technical term used in psalm titles (Psalm 7:1; Habakkuk 3:1 ). Suggested translations include, “frenzied” or “emotional.” Some think the basic meaning is “to wander” in reference to a wandering style of thought or melody or to the unconnected expressions of a lament.
