Psalm 57:1-2 TO THE CHOIRMASTER: ACCORDING TO DO NOT DESTROY. A MIKTAM OF DAVID, WHEN HE FLED FROM SAUL, IN THE CAVE.



Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in You my soul takes refuge.

A superscription in the Bible refers to an inscription, title, or writing placed above or at the beginning of Psalm, object, person or event. The word comes from the Greek term epigraphē.

What it includes:

In the Psalms they often state the author, e.g., "Of David", the historical occasion, e.g., when he fled from Saul, and serves as genre markers, or musical and liturgical instructions.

Function:

They provide historical context, authorship clues, and guidance on how the Psalm was used in ancient worship. 

Various Psalms make use of superscription. There are the different superscriptions mentioned in the Psalms:

• Miktam: Psalms 16, 56-60;
• Shiggaion: Psalm 7;
• Shyr: 18, 46, 48, 66, 67, 83, 87-88, 96, 108, 120-134, 145;
• Maskil: 32, 42, 44-45, 52-55, 74, 78, 88-89, 142;
• Tefillah: 17, 43, 61, 86, 90, 102;
• Mizmor: 3-6, 8-9, 12-13, 15, 18-24, 29-31, 38-41, 47, 49-51, 62-65, 67, 73, 75-77, 79-80, 82-85, 87, 92, 98, 100-101, 109-110, 139-141, 143.             

• Etymologically, the word miktam is connected to kethem כתם which means fine stamped gold;
• In Akkadian, the word is connected to a silent prayer and means to cover;
• The Septuagint translation uses the word stelagraphia  which means stone inscription.

A miktam is therefore words that are as valuable as gold, uttered as a silent prayer that provides shelter. The words stand as an inscription on a pillar of stone, to be recalled at all times. 

In Psalm 57, the superscription includes an instruction for the melody - It is set to music of “Do not destroy”;

It records who the author is - David;

And it specifies when it took place - When he fled from Saul in the cave.

The Psalm is divided into two sections:

A cry for refuge, verses 1 - 5, and the triumph of faith, verses 6-11.

Both sections conclude with the words:

“Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let Your glory be over all the earth!”

This illustrates faith in God while it is still dark before the deliverance.

In the New Testament, a superscription also refers to the written charge or accusation. This can be found in the inscription placed on the cross when Jesus was crucified, known in Latin as a titulus and in Greek as a titlos τίτλος.

Matthew 27:37: "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS"

Mark 15:26:      "THE KING OF THE JEWS"

Luke 23:38:      "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS"

John 19:19:       "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS"

Embedded in the pictographs of the Hebrew word miktam מכתם, is the description of the historical event that saved mankind.

 מ— mem, pictograph of water, representing people or man.

כ — kaf, the palm of the hand.

ת — tav, a cross.

 ם — mem, pictograph of water, representing people or man.

Sinful man מ, delivered by the Son of Man ם,with His palms כ, nailed to the cross ת.

The numerical value of miktam is 500.

The Hebrew word for “give” is natan נתנ

The standard value of this word is also 500, 50 - נ + 400 - ת + 50 - נ

“God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” 

May the Lord give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you.
