Higgaion:

in Psa 92:3 means the murmuring tone of the harp. In Psa 9:16 it is a musical sign, denoting probably a pause in the instrumental interlude. In Psa 19:14 the word is rendered "meditation;" and in Lam 3:62, "device" (R.V., "imagination").

Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary

Higgaion:

meditation; consideration

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Higgaion:

hi-ga'yon, hi-gi'-on (higgayon): The meaning of this word is uncertain. Two interpretations are possible; the one based on an allied Arabic root gives "a deep vibrating sound," the other derived from the Greek versions of Ps 9:16, where we read higgayon Celah, takes it to mean an instrumental interlude.

See PSALMS

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Higgaion:

(meditation) a word which occurs three times in the book of Psalms-(Psalm 9:16; 19:14; 92:3 margin.) The word has two meanings, one of a general character, implying thought; reflection, and another, in Psalm 9:16 and Psalm 92:3. Of a technical nature, the precise meaning of which cannot at this distance of time be determined (Canon Cook says that it probably means an interlude giving musical expression to the feelings suggested by the preceding words.- ED.)
