Higgaion

Easton's Bible Dictionary

In Ps 92:3 means the murmuring tone of the harp. In Ps 9:16 it is a musical sign, denoting probably a pause in the instrumental interlude. In Ps 19:14 the word is rendered “meditation;” and in Lam 3:62, “device” (R.V., “imagination”).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

hi-ga'yon, hi-gi'-on (higgayon): The meaning of this word is uncertain. Two interpretations are possible; the one based on an allied Arabic root gives "a deep vibrating sound," the other derived from the Greek versions of Ps 9:16, where we read higgayon Celah, takes it to mean an instrumental interlude.
