Exegesis

The sequence venizaq {וְנִזְעַק | wĕ·ni·z‘aqq} ‘and we will cry out’, vetishma {וְתִשְׁמַע | wĕ·tîš·maʿ} ‘and You will hear’, and vetoshia {וְתוֹשִׁיעַ | wĕ·tô·šî·aʿ} ‘and You will save’ forms a tight prayer-hearing-rescue motif, preserving the parallel “and” chain of the Hebrew in English with strategic punctuation.
