v. 1 – The asyndesis between the imperative and cohortative לְ֭כוּ נְרַנְּנָ֣ה (cf. בֹּ֭אוּ נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֣ה in v. 6), though less common than waw conjunction,[1] is nevertheless a construction for this shift from second- to first-person attested across the Bible (cf. Gen 19:32; 31:44; 1 Sam 9:10; 2 Kgs 14:8; Prov. 1:11; 7:18; Eccl 2:1).

  1. ↑ See, for example, Gen 37:20, 27; Judg 19:11, 13; 1 Sam 9:5, 9; 11:14; 14:1, 6; 20:11; 2 Kgs 7:4, 9; Isa 1:18; 2:3, 5; Jer 18:18; 48:2; Hos 6:1; Jon 1:17; Mic 4:2; Ps 83:5; Neh 2:17; 6:2, 7.
