HIGGAION (הִגָּיֹ֣ון, talk or playing of instrument, Ps 92:4; Lam 3:62; thinking or planning, Ps 19:14). This Heb. word is used only four times in the OT. It occurs in Ugaritic as hgg with the meaning “to utter.” The word can basically be divided into two groups of meaning: the first has to do with sounds (either whispering or the playing of a stringed instrument); the second has to do with the process of planning or meditation. (See also Music; Musical Instruments.)
