MASCHIL.—See Psalms, p. 772a.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Title of Psalm 32; Psalm 42; Psalm 44; Psalm 45; Psalm 52-55; Psalm 74; Psalm 78; Psalm 88; Psalm 89; Psalm 142. "Instruction" is the special design of such psalms, as the Hebrew cognate verb (Psa_32:8) 'aschilka, "I will instruct thee" implies. All Scripture is for "instruction" (2Ti_3:16). This title draws attention to the instruction in psalms where this design is not at first sight apparent. Gesenius and Roediger explain "any sacred song relating to divine things, whose end it is to promote wisdom and piety." Compare the sense of maschil Psa_47:7, "sing ye praises with understanding," i.e. edification, spiritual "wisdom" (Col_3:16). Also Psa_53:2, "God looked down ... to see if there were any that did understated" (maschil). The "instruction" aimed at is to bring reckless man to spiritual understanding, the true wisdom (Psa_111:10; Dan_12:10).

Mas'chil. (song of wisdom). The title of thirteen Psalms, Psa_32:1; Psa_42:1; Psa_44:1; Psa_45:1; Psa_52:1; Psa_53:1; Psa_54:1; Psa_55:1; Psa_74:1; Psa_78:1; Psa_88:1; Psa_89:1; Psa_142:1. Ewald regards Psa_47:7, (Authorized Version, "sing ye praises with understanding"; Hebrew, maschil), as the key to the meaning of maschil, which, in his opinion, is a musical term denoting a melody requiring great skill in its execution.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


a title, or inscription, at the head of several psalms of David and others, in the book of Psalms. Thus Psalms 32 is inscribed, “A Psalm of David, Maschil;” and Psalms 42, “To the chief musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.” The word Maschil, in the Hebrew, signifies, “he that instructs;” though some interpreters take it for the name of a musical instrument. Some of the rabbins believe that, in repeating the psalms which have this inscription, it was usual to add an interpretation or explication to them. Others, on the contrary, think it shows the clearness and perspicuity of such psalms, and that they needed no particular explication. The most probable opinion is, that Maschil means an instructive song.

Maschil
(Heb. maskil', מִשְׂכַיל, instrlucting, Hiph. part. of שָׂכִל, to be wise; used as a noun in Psa_47:7, זִמְּווּ מִשְׂכַיל, sing ye a poem, Peshito, sing praise, but the Sept.,Vulg., and Auth.Vers. “sing ye with understanding”) occurs in the titles or inscriptions of Psalms 32, 42, 44, 45, 52, 53, 54, 55, 74, 78, 88, 89, 142. The origin of the use of this word is uncertain, and it has been variously interpreted. The most probable meaning of maschil is a poem, song, which enforces intelligence, wisdom, piety, q. d. didactic; which is true of every sacred song, not excepting Psalms 45, where everything is referred to the goodness of God. It occurs elsewhere as an adjective, and is accordingly rendered “wise,” or some other term equivalent to instruction (1Sa_18:14-15; 2Ch_30:22; Job_22:2; Psa_14:2; Psa_41:1; Psa_53:2; Pro_10:5; Pro_10:19; Pro_14:35; Pro_15:24; Pro_16:20; Pro_17:2; Pro_19:14; Pro_21:12; Jer_1:9; Dan_1:4; Dan_11:33; Dan_11:35; Dan_12:3; Dan_12:10; Amo_5:13).
