Exegesis

Two parallel causal clauses introduced by ki {כִּי | kî} provide the grounds for praise: first, ki tov {כִּי ט֔וֹב | kî ṭôv} is a verbless predication (“for {He} good”), where the subject is understood from context (the LORD) and English supplies the copula with “He is.”

Root and etymology

consonantstet–vav–bet

to be good, pleasant

In context1 Chronicles 16:34

Give thanks to the LORD , for He is good; for His steadfast love is forever.
