Editing Psalms (section)

===Superscriptions===
Many psalms (116 of the 150) have individual superscriptions (titles), ranging from lengthy comments to a single word. Over a third appear to be musical directions, addressed to the "leader" or "choirmaster", including such statements as "with stringed instruments" and "according to lilies". Others appear to be references to types of musical composition, such as "A psalm" and "Song", or regarding the occasion of the psalm ("On the dedication of the temple", "For the memorial offering", etc.). Many carry the names of individuals, the most common (73 psalms) being 'of David', and thirteen of these relate explicitly to incidents in the king's life.{{sfn|Hayes|1998|pp=154–55}} Others named include [[Asaph (biblical figure)|Asaph]] (12), the [[Korahites|sons of Korah]] (11), [[Solomon]] (2), [[Moses]] (1), [[Ethan (biblical figure)|Ethan the Ezrahite]] (1), and [[Heman the Ezrahite]] (1). The [[Septuagint]], the [[Peshitta|Peshitta (the Syriac Vulgate)]], and the [[Latin Vulgate]] each associate several Psalms (such as [[Psalm 111|111]] and [[Psalm 145|145]]) with [[Haggai]] and [[Zechariah (Hebrew prophet)|Zechariah]]. The Septuagint also attributes several Psalms (like [[Psalm 112|112]] and [[Psalm 135|135]]) to [[Ezekiel]] and [[Jeremiah]].
