Exegesis

The verse employs a triad of Piel imperatives—shiru {שִׁירוּ | šî-rû} ‘sing,’ zamru {זַמְּרוּ | zammərû} ‘praise with music,’ and sichu {שִׂיחוּ | sî-ḥû} ‘speak’—each directed to the divine object lo {לוֹ | lō}. The first two form a parallel pair calling for musical worship, while the third extends the call to verbal declaration.
