ffOjUEvoi, f-iapTvpiov ; Vulg. it qiii commuhxhuntur iesti- I vioniuvi), a phrase found in tlie title of Psa. Ixxx as a direction to the chief musician, which appears, accord- | ing to the most probable conjecture, to denote the melo- dy or air " after" or " in the maimer of" which the | ]isalin was to be sung. As the words now stand they must be regarded as |)ro1)ably a fragment of the begin- ning of an older psalm witli wliicli the ciioir were famil- iar. Ewald gives what he considers the original mean- ing— •■ • lilies;' that is, [lure, innocent, is ' the law ;' " but the words will not bear this interpretation, nor is it possible in their present position to assign to them any certain meaning. For the conjectures of those who re- gard the words as the names of musical instruments, see the articles Siiosiianni>i ; Shishan-kditii.

Shoulder is the rendering mostly of D2"r, skel-em (as being the part beiit to receive a burden; but jierhaps the word is rather primitive; occasionally '"back," etc.), and (L/ioc (Matt, xxiii, 4; Luke xv, 4) ; fretpiently of pTJ, s/tok (properly the le'/ [as sometimes rendered], es- pecially the so-called right or "heave" shoulder [q. v.], Exod. xxix, 22, 27 ; Lev. vii, 32. 33, 34, etc.) ; and else- where of "rS, katheph, the shuuldei- properly so called, especially the "shoulder- pieces" (q. v.) of the high- priest's ephod (Exod. xxviii, xxxix); rarely of ^'1"iT, zeroa, the cvm (Numb, vi, 19; Deut. xviii, 3), or of some denominative phrase.
Shoulder-blade (n^~'j, shikmah, fern, of ti^'3, the common word for shouUler; used only in Job xxxi, 22, where it clearly means the socket or bone to which the arm is attached).
Shoulder-piece (rrs, Inthvph, from an unused root, nuaning [according to Fiirst] to bend or protecf ; often rendered "side," sometimes "arm"), a term spe- cially used (in tlie plur. fern. PIETS, Icetlifphoth) of the side-pieces on the upper part of the high-priest's ephod (q. v.), wliich came up over the shoulder, where the front and back flaps were fastened l)v a golden stud (FLxod. xxviii,", 25; xxxix, 4; simi)ly "shoulders," xxviii, 12; xxxix, 7; or "sides," xxviii, 27; xxxix, 20) ; also of the arms of an axle ("imdersetters," 1 Kings vii, 30, 34), and the wings or side-spaces of a porch or gate ("sides," Ezek. xli, 2, 2()). The term is frequently applied to that part of the body called tlie shoulder, but only of persons, either literally or figuratively; or metaphorically to places or inanimate objects. According to ( Jesenius it differs from CZ'd. -ihekem, in si)ecilically meaning the upper part of the side or arm, the shoulder proper; whereas the latter term denotes originally the shoiildir-hladi', and hence that part of the back where these bones approach each other. IJut Fhrst thinks the two words are altogether synonymous. Mtlhlau (new ed. of (iesenius's IlandwOr- lerburh, s. v.) remarks that CZ'J signifies only the rear part of the shoulder where the neck joins the back, and hence occurs only in the sing.
