| 13. Linguistic Exegesis The verse opens with the Qal imperative rumah {רוּמָה | rūmāh} ‘be exalted’, directly addressing the divine name Yahweh {יְהוָה | Yəhôwāh} as the vocative subject. The prepositional phrase be'uzeka {בְּעֻזֶּךָ | bə-ʿuz-zē-kā} ‘in Your strength’ serves as a circumstantial adjunct of means. The coordinated Piel cohortatives nashirah {נָשִׁירָה | nāšîrāh} ‘let us sing’ and unezamerah {וּנְזַמֵּרָה | û-nə-zam-mē-rāh} ‘and let us make music’ form a collective action clause expressing communal praise. The construct noun gevurateka {גְּבוּרָתֶךָ | gə-bu-rā-te-ḵā} ‘Your mighty power’ functions as the direct object, focusing worship on divine strength. The sequence imperative → adjunct → cohortatives emphasizes that communal song flows from Yahweh’s exaltation and strength. |
