Muthlabben

"To the chief musician upon Muth-labben" is the title of (Psalms 9:1) which has given rise to infinite conjecture. It may be either upon the death (muth) of the fool (labben), as an anagram on Nabal or as Gesenius, "to be chanted by boys with virgins' voices," i.e. in the soprano.

Occurring only in the title of Psalm 9. Some interpret the words as meaning "on the death of Labben," some unknown person. Others render the word, "on the death of the son;" i.e., of Absalom (2 Samuel 18:33). Others again have taken the word as the name of a musical instrument, or as the name of an air to which the psalm was sung. MUTH-LABBEN

muth-lab'-en (muth labben, "death of Ben," or "of the son"; Psalm 9, title).
