Psalms 98:5, word by word
- Sing psalmsזַמְּרוּzamru
sing praise, make music
Sing praise: sing or play a stringed instrument in praise. The word for "psalm" comes from it.
Where else “zamru” appears- to YHWHיהוָהyhva
YHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.
