silence; unable to speak, dumbness
A noun meaning silence or muteness, appearing in two psalm titles. In Psalm 56:1, it may be part of a melody name: 'The Dove on Distant Oaks' (taking 'elem' as silence) or possibly 'The Silent Dove of Distant Places.' Psalm 58:2 raises textual questions—does it mean speaking 'in silence' (i.e., not speaking righteously) or should the text be emended to 'elim' (gods/judges)? The uncertainty reflects the difficulty of ancient musical or liturgical notations.

1. sense 1 — Translation strategies reveal interpretive diversity: English 'in silence' or 'of silence,' Spanish simply 'silencio,' French 'assemblée' (assembly, following emendation?), German 'in silence' or 'von silence.' The psalm titles notoriously resist clear interpretation, mixing melody names, historical notes, and liturgical instructions. The witness of ancient versions shows early translators already struggled with these technical terms, making definitive interpretation challenging. 2×
