What does the Psalm 75 title 'Al-Taschith' mean?
Robert Young's Analytical Concordance simply states :
destroy or corrupt not
There is a Hebrew word tashbets meaning 'broidered' but that may not be relevant.
I am interested primarily in Psalm 75 in regard to the title adding to the meaning of the body of Asaph's psalm, but it also has a bearing on David's three psalms as well.
Can anyone shed some more light on this title of Psalms 57, 58, 59 and 75 ?

This is a frequently asked question with no non-speculative answers. The answers that have been proposed are:
Al Tashhet refers to the tune or rhythm of a song that was once well known, to which this Psalm should be set, possibly the tune used for Deuteronomy 9:261
- Various attempts to link these Psalms with themes of tashet (to waste, spoil or destroy) in the OT. For example I Sam 24:5 and 26:92
"I prayed to the LORD and said, "Sovereign LORD, do not destroy your people, your own inheritance that you redeemed by your great power and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand." (NIV)
