The Key Word — הַֽלְל֥וּהוּ, ha.Lu.hugenerated
The verb הָלַל (halal) is a piel imperative, indicating a command to praise or celebrate. It carries connotations of shining, boasting, and even foolishness, suggesting an exuberant expression of joy and reverence.
The parsing as a second person masculine plural implies that the psalmist is addressing a collective group, specifically the angels, urging them to actively participate in this act of praise. This reflects a communal aspect of worship, inviting all to join in the celebration.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations generally agree on the call to praise, with variations in the rendering of the Hebrew words.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of two main clauses, each beginning with the imperative verb הַֽלְל֥וּהוּ, praise Him, followed by the subjects: כָל־ מַלְאָכָיו and כָּל־ צְבָאָיו, both meaning all His angels and all His hosts respectively. This structure emphasizes the universality of the call to praise.
The repetition of the command reinforces its importance and urgency, creating a rhythmic and emphatic declaration that all of creation is invited to worship.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הַֽלְל֥וּהוּ as αὐτόν, which means Him. This choice aligns with the Hebrew imperative, maintaining the direct call to worship.
The use of πάντες for כָל־ indicates a comprehensive invitation to all, similar to the Hebrew, reflecting the inclusivity of the call to praise.
