with a great
<01419>

shout
<08643>_,

when they praised
<01984> (8763)

could not discern
<05234> (8688)

the noise
<06963>

of the shout
<08643>

of joy
<08057>

from the noise
<06963>

of the weeping
<01065>

of the people
<05971>_:

for the people
<05971>

shouted
<07321> (8688)

with a loud
<01419>

<08643>_,

and the noise
