It appears in the titles of several Psalms and is thought to indicate a specific style or tune, possibly linked to the joyous or celebratory nature of the music from Gath.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Gath was one of the five major Philistine cities and was renowned for its wine production. The association of "Gittith" with Gath suggests a cultural exchange between the Israelites and the Philistines, particularly in the realm of music. The use of Philistine musical terms in Hebrew worship indicates a blending of cultural elements, which was not uncommon in the ancient Near East.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/1663.htm">Gitti</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a musical term of unc. meaning.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">גִּתִּית</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>feminine</b></font> of foregoing (si vera lectio) only in phrase <font class="hebrew2">עַלהַֿגִּתִּית</font> in three Psalm titles: <a href="/interlinear/psalms/8-1.htm">Psalm 8:1</a>;
