Aijeleth Shahar or Ayelet HaShachar (Hebrew: "hind of the dawn"), a name found in the title of Psalm 22.

It is probably the name of some song or tune to the measure of which the psalm was to be chanted. Some, however, understand by the name some instrument of music, or an allegorical allusion to the subject of the psalm.
