# For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A psalm of David

This is a superscription that tells about the psalm. Some scholars say that this is part of the scripture and some say that it is not. (See "What are Superscriptions in Psalms" in [Introduction to Psalms](../front/intro.md).) 

# For the chief musician

"This is for the director of music to use in worship"

# on stringed instruments

"people should play stringed instruments with this song"

# Answer me when I call

"Respond to me when I call" or "Help me when I call"

# God of my righteousness

"God, who shows that I am righteous"

# give me room when I am hemmed in

Being in danger is spoken of as being in a narrow space. Alternate translation: "rescue me when I am in danger" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
