The Key Word הוֹשִׁיעֵ֨נוּ, ho.shi.'E.nugenerated

The verb הוֹשִׁיעֵ֨נוּ (ho.shi.'E.nu) is a hiphil imperative form, meaning 'save us.' It is derived from the root יָשַׁע (yasha`), which conveys the idea of delivering from danger or trouble. This word encompasses various forms of salvation, including physical rescue and moral deliverance, emphasizing God's role as a savior.

The imperative form indicates a direct request or command, showing urgency in the psalmist's plea for help. The use of the suffix indicates that the plea is communal, directed towards the collective people of Israel.

Psalms 106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise.Ver. 47. Save us, O Lord our God] This is the main request of the psalm, and the chief thing intended; for for this cause prefaced the prophet, as Psalms 106:1-2, &c., and reckoned up the people’ s sins and God’ s deliverances, that he might bring in this, "Save us," as thou ever hast done. To give thanks unto thy holy name] Good ends propounded in prayer is a special means of speeding.

Verse 47. Save us. O Lord - and gather us] These words, says Calmet, are found in the hymn that was sung at the ceremony of bringing the ark to Jerusalem, 1 Chronicles 16:35-36; but it is supposed they were added by Ezra or some other prophet: here they are in their natural place. The author of the Psalm begs the Lord to gather the Israelites who were dispersed through different countries; for at the dedication of the second temple, under Nehemiah, (where it is probable this Psalm, with the cvth and the cviith, was sung,) there were very few Jews who had as yet returned from their captivity.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
