shay denotes something brought or sought as tribute or an offering before a ruler.

The attested passages present shay as something brought to the LORD or sought as tribute: Isaiah 18:7 explicitly describes it being brought to the LORD of Hosts, while Psalm 68:30 places it in a clause about silver tribute. Psalm 76:12 occurs in a context of leaders and kings, though the translation does not isolate its contribution.

Psalm 76:12 concerns leaders and kings, but its translation does not identify a distinct English expression for this noun.
