Exegesis
The coordinating vav in va’anotkha {וַעֲנֹתְךָ | waʿănōṯkā} ‘and your humility’ (functionally gentleness) introduces a second divine attribute, while the Hiphil imperfect tarbēnî {תַּרְבֵּנִי | tarbēnî} ‘you make me great’ expresses a causative outcome. This parallel structure balances protection and condescension as means of exaltation.
In context — 2 Samuel 22:36
You gave me the shield of Your salvation , and Your gentleness makes me great.
