Title in Psalms 16 and 56–60 (see niv), possibly also of Hezekiah’s recovery psalm, Isaiah 38:9. The precise meaning of the term is uncertain. Its similarity to the Akkadian word “to cover, expiate” suggests the title may mean a psalm of expiation or sin covered. Other suggestions include a psalm of problems or mysteries.
