155It is unlikely that the ψαλμοί and ὕμοɩ and ᾡδαὶ πνευματɩϰί should be confined to three types of composition specified in the Hebrew titles to the OT Psalter—mizmōrîm, tehillîm, and šîrîm respectively. Nor should the etymological force of the terms be pressed, as though ψαλμός inevitably meant a song sung to the accompaniment of a stringed instrument (psaltery or lute), the strings of which were plucked by the hand (so Gregory of Nyssa, On the Titles of the Psalms, PG 44.493B). While such plucking of the strings is the original sense of ψάλλω (for which cf. Eph. 5:19), the verb is used in the NT with the meaning “sing psalms” (1 Cor. 14:15; Jas. 5:13; also, probably, the quotation from Ps. 18:49 [LXX 17:50] par. 2 Sam. [LXX 2 Kingdoms] 22:50 in Rom. 15:9). Cf. pp. 380-81.
