Exegesis
The jussive imperfect yishpar {יִשְׁפַּר | yiš-pār} ‘may it be pleasing’ governs etsati {עֵצָתִי | ʿē-ṣā-ṯî} ‘my counsel’ as its subject and alakh {עֲלָךְ | ʿă-lāḵ} ‘upon you’ as its indirect object, presenting Daniel’s counsel as an agreeable request.
In context — Daniel 4:27
Therefore, O king, may my counsel be pleasing to you; break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by acts of mercy to the poor; perhaps there will be a lengthening of your tranquility.
