Exegesis
The perfect patzchu {פָּצְח֖וּ | pā-ṣə-ḥū} ‘they break forth’ takes the noun rinnah {רִנָּֽה | rin-nāh} ‘singing’ as its object, forming a result clause where silence gives way to joyous outburst. In the formal rendering, each Hebrew clause is mirrored with independent English clauses and the subject is specified as ‘people’ for clarity. In the dynamic version, the two verbs are unified into a single smooth phrase, kol–ha–ʾāreṣ is rendered idiomatically as ‘Across the world everything,’ ‘people’ is introduced as the implied agent, and ‘break out in song’ is chosen for vivid expression.
