The Key Word — תַשְׂגִּ֣יא, tas.Gi'generated
The verb תַשְׂגִּ֣יא (tas.Gi') is a Hiphil imperfect, second person masculine singular form of the root שָׂגָא (saga'), meaning to grow or increase. It signifies an active process of magnification, suggesting not just recognition but an elevation of importance.
In this context, it calls the listener to actively acknowledge and celebrate the greatness of God's deeds, which is a recurring theme in the Psalms where God’s name is magnified and praised.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses magnify for תַשְׂגִּ֣יא.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verbs in this verse are זְ֭כֹר (remember) and תַשְׂגִּ֣יא (you will magnify), which set the imperative tone of the sentence. The structure flows logically, with the first verb commanding remembrance, leading into the action of magnifying God's work.
The phrase אֲשֶׁ֖ר שֹׁרְר֣וּ (which they have sung) serves as a relative clause, connecting the act of magnifying to the praise that has been given by people, thus emphasizing the communal recognition of God's deeds.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates זְ֭כֹר as μνήσθητι (mnēsthēti), which also means 'to remember' but carries a more formal tone. This choice reflects the gravity of the command to remember God's works.
For תַשְׂגִּ֣יא, the LXX uses μεγαλύνω (megalunō), meaning 'to magnify' or 'to make great,' aligning closely with the Hebrew intent of elevating God's deeds in importance.
