Today we start worship with:
So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”
This verse, written in Greek, contains the spontaneous shout in Hebrew from the crowd, "Hosanna" (hōsanna).
That, in turn, comes from two words, "save" (yāša) and "we pray" nā'.
It is a short, submissive, respectful prayer. Another example would be when Moses asked God:
Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”
Amen, may it be so.
