TZENA is a lively Israeli folk melody consisting of three phrases, each one repeated before the next begins. The tune title is a Hebrew verb meaning "to go forth." After singing the melody through once, proceed in four-part canon on a half-note pulse (but slower in large congregations). The keyboard accompaniment suggests organ trio style, but the ideal accompaniment consists of guitar, piano, violin, tambourine, and hand clapping. For starters, try a hand clap at the points of the two eighth rests in the last section: “The LORD is God, and (clap) I will praise him.” Emily R. Brink (PHH 158) harmonized the tune in 1986 for the Psalter Hymnal.
