Exegesis
The next clause broadens the scope from inner restoration to royal standing: ûlikar malkhuti hadri vəzivi yetub ʿalay {וּלִיקַר מַלְכוּתִי הַדְרִי וְזִיוִי יְתֻב עֲלַי | û-li-qar mal-khū-tî had-rî və-zî-vî yə-tuḇ ʿa-lay}. The prepositional phrase וּלִיקַר מַלְכוּתִי “for the glory of my kingdom” precedes the coordinated subjects הַדְרִי וְזִיוִי “my majesty and my splendor,” which share the single verb יְתֻב. This creates a compact parallelism in which internal sanity and outward royal dignity are restored together, and it highlights that the restoration serves the public “glory” or honor of the monarchy.
