Strong's Lexicon mizmor: Psalm Original Word: מִזְמוֹר Word Origin: Derived from the root זָמַר (zamar), meaning "to make music" or "to sing praise." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of "mizmor" in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) is ψαλμός (psalmos), Strong's Greek #5568, which also means "a song of praise" or "psalm." Usage: The term "mizmor" refers to a song or poem of praise, often accompanied by musical instruments. It is primarily used to denote the sacred songs found in the Book of Psalms, which are expressions of worship, thanksgiving, lament, and supplication to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, music played a significant role in worship and religious ceremonies. The Psalms, many of which are labeled as "mizmor," were integral to the liturgical life of the Israelites. They were used in temple worship, personal devotion, and communal gatherings. The Psalms reflect a wide range of human emotions and experiences, from joy and gratitude to sorrow and repentance, and they have been a source of spiritual inspiration for generations.
