Exegesis
The closing compound uneim zemirot Yisrael {וּנְעִים זְמִרוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל | wə-nᵊ-ʿî-m zᵊ-mî-rōṯ yiś-rā-ʼél} ‘and pleasant one of the songs of Israel’ frames David’s role as national poet, creating a triadic parallel that highlights his prophetic, kingly, and worship leadership roles.
In context — 2 Samuel 23:1
And these are the last words of David: The utterance of David, son of Jesse, and the utterance of the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob , and the sweet singer of the songs of Israel .
