From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  Nehiloth \Ne"hi*loth\, n. pl. [Heb.] (Script.)
     A term supposed to mean, perforated wind instruments of
     music, as pipes or flutes. --Ps. v. (heading).
     [1913 Webster]

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:



  Nehiloth
     only in the title of Ps. 5. It is probably derived from a root
     meaning "to bore," "perforate," and hence denotes perforated
     wind instruments of all kinds. The psalm may be thus regarded as
     addressed to the conductor of the temple choir which played on
     flutes and such-like instruments.
