12:5 Sing to the Lord, for he has done magnificent things,
let this be known 1 throughout the earth!
12:6 Cry out and shout for joy, O citizens of Zion,
for the Holy One of Israel 2 acts mightily 3 among you!”
1 tc The translation follows the marginal reading (Qere), which is a Hophal participle from יָדַע (yada’), understood here in a gerundive sense.
2 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
3 tn Or “is great” (TEV). However, the context emphasizes his mighty acts of deliverance (cf. NCV), not some general or vague character quality.
