The Key Word — לַ֭שְׁמִעַ, Lash.mi.a'generated
The Hebrew word שָׁמַע (shama`) means 'to hear' and extends to the idea of making one's voice heard, especially in the context of worship. This word is often used in the Bible to signify not only hearing but also responding to God with obedience and praise.
In this verse, it is in the hiphil infinitive construct, indicating an active role in making the voice heard. This emphasizes the psalmist's intent to raise his voice in a deliberate act of thanksgiving.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the verse is לַשְׁמִעַ, to make heard, which governs the entire structure. The verse consists of a prepositional phrase introducing the act of thanksgiving, followed by a conjunction leading into the action of recounting God's wonderful works.
The order of the phrases places emphasis on the act of thanksgiving first, highlighting its significance before the declaration of God's deeds.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates לַשְׁמִעַ with ἀκοῦσαι (akoūsai), which means 'to hear' or 'to listen.' This choice highlights the aspect of making one's voice heard, aligning with the Hebrew meaning but also emphasizing the auditory nature of worship.
The choice of διηγήσασθαι for וּ֝לְסַפֵּ֗ר suggests a narrative quality, indicating that the recounting is not merely a listing of deeds but a storytelling of God's wonders.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.

The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
