Note: Crosswalk appears to have followed an error by Sacred Name Bible at
http://www.sacrednamebible.com/kjvstrongs/STRHEB56.htm#S5667 
That is, the link from (5667) at
http://www.sacrednamebible.com/kjvstrongs/STRGRK52.htm#S5215
goes to
http://www.sacrednamebible.com/kjvstrongs/STRHEB56.htm#S5667
which is in the Hebrew section, not in the Greek section.
This situation appears to be an error in that
http://www.sacrednamebible.com/kjvstrongs/STRINDEX.htm
shows the greatest number in the Greek section of Strong's dictionary is 5624,
and Theophilos shows that the word "hymn" does not appear in the Old Testament.

Additional information:
"The Jews sang Psalm 113 at the annual Passover celebration of their Exodus from Egypt."
