Oh! I know this! And I don't even have to look it up. No. I. Don't!
A 'maskil' is when you put out boxes and boxes of d-Con, and wipe out all the little mouses in your house, in one fell swoop! BAM! Take that, mousey!
No? Not the answer you were looking for? It never is.....
Anyways, this is a literary or musical term that occurs in the heading of some psalms and always in connection with the phrase, "of David," which leads some 'experts' to believe it means "prayer." Which makes sense, since the psalms are musical prayers. But then, all of them are prayers. So much for those 'experts.' Others believe it means that these psalms contain concepts or ideas that are pertinent to every stage of life – and it therefore means: wisdom. Which, again, could be said for ALL the psalms. So, you can decide.
And there you have it.
