And cry out
The phrase "cry out" in Hebrew is "זָעַק" (za'aq), which conveys a sense of urgency and desperation. This is not a mere whisper or casual request; it is a heartfelt plea. In the context of ancient Israel, crying out to God was a common practice during times of distress or need, reflecting a deep reliance on divine intervention. This act of crying out signifies a recognition of human limitations and a turning towards God as the ultimate source of help and salvation.

Save us
The Hebrew word for "save" is "יָשַׁע" (yasha), which is the root of the name "Jesus" (Yeshua in Hebrew), meaning "The Lord saves." This plea for salvation is central to the biblical narrative, emphasizing God's role as the deliverer of His people. Historically, Israel often found itself in peril, surrounded by hostile nations, and this cry for salvation underscores their dependence on God's power to rescue them from physical and spiritual threats.

O God of our salvation
This title for God highlights His identity as the source of deliverance and protection. The phrase "God of our salvation" is a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where God promises to be their savior. It reflects a personal and communal acknowledgment of God's past acts of salvation, such as the Exodus, and a trust in His continued faithfulness.

gather us
The Hebrew word "קָבַץ" (qabats) means to collect or assemble. This request for gathering implies a desire for unity and restoration. In the historical context, the Israelites often faced dispersion due to exile or conquest. The plea to be gathered is not only a physical return to their homeland but also a spiritual reassembly under God's covenant, symbolizing hope for national and spiritual renewal.

and deliver us from the nations
The term "deliver" comes from the Hebrew "נָצַל" (natsal), meaning to snatch away or rescue. The nations, or "גּוֹיִם" (goyim), often represent foreign powers that threatened Israel's existence and faith. This request for deliverance is a call for God to protect His people from external influences that could lead them away from their covenantal obligations and identity.

that we may give thanks to Your holy name
Giving thanks, or "יָדָה" (yadah) in Hebrew, is an act of worship and acknowledgment of God's goodness and mercy. The "holy name" of God signifies His unique and sacred character. In biblical times, a name was more than a label; it represented the essence and authority of a person. Thus, giving thanks to God's holy name is an expression of reverence and gratitude for His divine nature and deeds.

that we may glory in Your praise
The word "glory" in Hebrew is "הָלַל" (halal), which means to boast or celebrate. To glory in God's praise is to find joy and fulfillment in worshiping Him. This phrase suggests that the ultimate purpose of deliverance and salvation is to enable God's people to live lives that reflect His glory and to participate in the communal and eternal act of praising Him. It is a reminder that worship is both a privilege and a response to God's mighty works.

(35, 36) See Psalm 106:47-48.

(35) And say ye.--Not in Psalm 106:47. The compiler or interpolator has added it here in order to connect 1Chronicles 16:34 (Psalm 106:1) with 1Chronicles 16:35 (Psalm 106:47). It was doubtless suggested by Psalm 96:10 : "Say ye among the nations, The Lord reigneth." . . .
