|Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

"Save us!
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord,
The Kind of Israel!
|I went back and forth on whether or not to use the transliterated "Hosanna," or the translation, "Oh save," or "Save us." I'm still not sure which is better. In general, "hosanna" is a plea for salvation, and as such, it is considered a form of worship or praise, since it is a recognition that is supposed to go only to God (the OT says that there is no savior except for God - Isaiah 43:11), and as a form of praise or worship, it may or may not literally mean "save us," but could also be intended as a general "Praise God." Additionally, very few people, particularly outside the church, have any idea what "hosanna" means.

Additionally, this is actually a poetic song, and is written in a verse form in the Greek - as such, I have tried to retain the verse form a little by translating it much more word for word than I usually would.
