The Key Word — הוֹד֣וּ, ho.Dugenerated
The verb יָדָה (yadah) is a Hiphil imperative, meaning to give thanks or praise. It is built from a root that conveys the idea of throwing or casting, similar to shooting an arrow. In this context, it signifies an act of worship or confession, often with extended hands, reflecting a communal acknowledgment of God's goodness.
This word appears frequently in the Psalms, emphasizing the importance of gratitude in the life of the faithful. The use of the imperative form indicates a call to action, urging the community to actively engage in thanksgiving.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb הוֹד֣וּ (give thanks) governs the entire verse, with a prepositional phrase indicating to whom thanks is given and a series of clauses explaining why. The structure emphasizes the action of giving thanks as central to the psalmist's message.
The phrase כִּי־טוֹב (for He is good) serves as a causal explanation for the thanksgiving, while the concluding phrase לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ (His loving devotion endures forever) reinforces the eternal nature of God's mercy.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הוֹד֣וּ as ἐχομολογεῖσθε (give thanks), which carries a similar meaning of acknowledgment and praise. This choice aligns with the Hebrew intent, emphasizing the communal aspect of gratitude.
The Greek term ἀγαθός is used for טוֹב, indicating a direct correlation in the understanding of God's goodness across both languages.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb
