SIBI-P1 Translation G5568-01
to a string-accompanied hymn
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative singular, masculine (Gr,N,,,,,DMS); denotes indirect object or means in singular form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative singular masculine form ψαλμῷ denotes "to/for/by a psalm." Rendering it as "to a string-accompanied hymn" preserves the instrumental-plucked root sense of ψαλμ- and reflects the dative singular morphology. |
