Usage: The Hebrew word "shiyr" primarily denotes a "song" or "singing." It is used in the context of music, worship, and celebration. In the Old Testament, "shiyr" often refers to songs of praise to God, expressions of joy, or even lamentations.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, music and singing were integral parts of religious and social life. Songs were used in various contexts, including worship in the Temple, celebrations, and storytelling.

The Psalms, a central book in the Hebrew Bible, is a collection of songs and poems that reflect the spiritual and emotional life of the Israelites.
