15:20 Alamoth - Or, with Alamoth which is thought to be the name ofan instrument of musick; or of a certain tune, or note, or part in musick.The certain signification of it is not now known; and the like may be saidof Sheminith, ver.#21|.

15:21 To excel - Which word may be added to note the excellency of thatinstrument, or part of musick; or that there was a greater extension orelevation of the voice than in the former.
