Study note
Setting — Elihu addresses Job, placing this command between a rhetorical question about God’s unaccountable sovereignty and a statement that all humanity beholds His deeds from afar.
The words — זְ֭כֹר (Ze.khor) = remember and שֹׁרְר֣וּ (sho.re.Ru) = they have sung.
The thread — The focus on God’s works appears in Revelation 15:3, Psalms 72:18, and Psalms 111:2, where divine deeds are declared blessed, marvelous, and pondered.
Why it lands — The text commands the reader to actively acknowledge God’s actions, which others have already vocalized in praise, without explaining how or why those actions occur.
