(Heb menatstseah), the precentor of the Levitical choir or orchestra in the temple, mentioned in the titles of fifty-five psalms, and in Hab 3:19, Revised Version. The first who held this office was Jeduthun (1Ch 16:41), and the office appears to have been hereditary. Heman and Asaph were his two colleagues (2Ch 35:15).
With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the Lord-for His faithful love endures forever.
The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer. Also, the gatekeepers were at each gate. Because their Levite brothers had made preparations for them, none of them left their tasks.
Yahweh my Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like those of a deer and enables me to walk on mountain heights!
