All but 34 of the psalms have superscriptions at their beginning. These are editorial titles that either provide information to the performers or explain the reason for the psalm. Not all Bible translations include the psalm superscriptions.
It should be noted that there are those who, for various reasons, think that portions or all of some superscriptions are actually subscriptions that should apply to the preceding psalm. However, for the purposes of this book, those texts will be presented in their traditional form as superscriptions. For this publication the superscriptions are presented in brackets at the beginning of the psalm.
