The Hebrew word for "sing" is "שִׁירוּ" (shiru), which implies not just vocal expression but a heartfelt outpouring of praise. Singing to God is an act of devotion and acknowledgment of His sovereignty and goodness. Historically, singing has been a central part of worship in both the Temple in Jerusalem and in early Christian gatherings, serving as a means to unify the congregation and elevate the spirit.<p><b>Sing praises to Him</b><br />This phrase emphasizes the act of singing as a form of praise, not just a musical expression. The Hebrew word "זַמְּרוּ" (zammeru) is used here, which can also mean to make music or to celebrate in song. This suggests a joyful and intentional act of worship, where the focus is on glorifying God. In the historical context, music was an integral part of worship in ancient Israel, with instruments like the lyre and harp accompanying the voices of the faithful. This tradition continues in Christian worship today, where music is a powerful tool for expressing reverence and adoration.<p><b>Tell of all His wonders</b><br />The phrase "Tell of all His wonders" encourages believers to recount and proclaim the mighty acts of God. The Hebrew word "שִׂיחוּ" (sichu) means to meditate, speak, or talk about. This implies a thoughtful and deliberate sharing of God's miraculous deeds and His intervention in the world. Historically, recounting God's wonders was a way to pass down faith and tradition from one generation to the next, ensuring that His mighty works were not forgotten. In a scriptural context, this aligns with the call to be witnesses of God's power and love, sharing testimonies of His impact in our lives with others.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/105.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(2) <span class= "bld">Sing psalms.</span>--Rather, <span class= "ital">play, sing unto Him, play unto Him; </span>the usual choral direction.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/105.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 2.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him;</span> or," make melody unto him" (Cheyne); <span class="accented">i.e.</span> praise his Name (ver. 1) with song and music. <span class="cmt_word">Talk ye of all his</span> <span class="cmt_word">wondrous works</span> (comp. <a href="/psalms/119-37.htm">Psalm 119:37, 46</a>), Those who are full of gratitude to God for all his mercies that he has vouchsafed them cannot refrain from speaking of his goodness when they converse with others. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/105-2.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Sing</span><br /><span class="heb">שִֽׁירוּ־</span> <span class="translit">(šî·rū-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7891.htm">Strong's 7891: </a> </span><span class="str2">To sing</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to Him,</span><br /><span class="heb">ל֭וֹ</span> <span class="translit">(lōw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> </span><span class="str2"></span><br /><br /><span class="word">sing praises</span><br /><span class="heb">זַמְּרוּ־</span> <span class="translit">(zam·mə·rū-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Piel - Imperative - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2167.htm">Strong's 2167: </a> </span><span class="str2">Play, to make music, celebrate in song and music</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to Him;</span><br /><span class="heb">ל֑וֹ</span> <span class="translit">(lōw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> </span><span class="str2"></span><br /><br /><span class="word">tell</span><br /><span class="heb">שִׂ֝֗יחוּ</span> <span class="translit">(·ḥū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7878.htm">Strong's 7878: </a> </span><span class="str2">To muse, complain, talk (of)</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of all</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּכָל־</span> <span class="translit">(bə·ḵāl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> </span><span class="str2">The whole, all, any, every</span><br /><br /><span class="word">His wonders.</span><br /><span class="heb">נִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו׃</span> <span class="translit">(nip̄·lə·’ō·w·ṯāw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Nifal - Participle - feminine plural construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6381.htm">Strong's 6381: </a> </span><span class="str2">To separate, distinguish, to be, great, difficult, wonderful</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/105-2.htm">Psalm 105:2 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/psalms/105-2.htm">Psalm 105:2 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/psalms/105-2.htm">Psalm 105:2 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/psalms/105-2.htm">Psalm 105:2 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/psalms/105-2.htm">Psalm 105:2 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/105-2.htm">Psalm 105:2 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/105-2.htm">Psalm 105:2 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/105-2.htm">Psalm 105:2 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/105-2.htm">Psalm 105:2 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/psalms/105-2.htm">Psalm 105:2 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/psalms/105-2.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 105:2 Sing to him sing praises to him!
