Psalms 57, 58, 59, 75
A Hebrew phrase meaning "Do Not Destroy," used as a musical or liturgical notation in the superscriptions of several Psalms
This phrase does not occur in the biblical text as tagged under this specific Strong's number in standard critical editions. The phrase itself consists of two separate words: אַל (ʼal, H408) ("not") and תַּשְׁחֵת (from שָׁחַת (shâchath, H7843), "to destroy"), which are tagged individually in the text rather than as a compound unit under אַל תַּשְׁחֵת (ʼAl tashchêth, H516).
