From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I call to remembrance my song in the night -CompareJob 35:10, note;Psalms 42:8, note. The word here rendered “song” -נגינהnegı̂ynâh- means properly the music of stringed instruments,Lamentations 5:14;Isaiah 38:20; then, a stringed instrument. It is the word which we have so often in the titles to the psalms (Psalms 4:1-8;Psalms 6:1-10;Psalms 54:1-7;Psalms 55:0;Psalms 67:1-7;Psalms 76:1-12); and it is used here in the sense of song or psalm.
