Hello David. It's difficult to tell exactly from the Hebrew, but this verse seems to give direction to the chief musician for use of the stringed musical instruments (Neginoth), & specifically an eight-stringed lyre or harp (sheminith). As you might know, many of the Psalms were put to music & sung by Israel, even the early Church as part of their 'hymal', & so this instruction of using stringed instruments may have been used when this Psalm was sung. Six other Psalms are so directed as well.
