| 6. Linguistic Exegesis The conjunction hōste {ὥστε | hṓ-ste} introduces a result clause that indicates the outcome of prior assurance. The accusative participle tharrountas {θαρροῦντας | thar-roûn-tas} with the pronoun hemas {ἡμᾶς | hē-mâs} operates as the logical subject of the infinitive legein {λέγειν | lé-gein} in an accusative-and-infinitive construction, idiomatically rendered “we may say.” The citation that follows brings the fronted subject kyrios {Κύριος | Kú-ri-os} linked to emoi {ἐμοὶ | e-moi} and boethos {βοηθός | bo-ē-thós}, emphasizing “The Lord is my helper.” The negated future passive phobethesomai {φοβηθήσομαι | pho-bē-thḗ-so-mai} conveys a determined resolution not to experience fear, immediately followed by the rhetorical interrogative ti poiesei moi anthropos {τί ποιήσει μοι ἄνθρωπος | tí poi-ḗ-sei moi án-thrō-pos}, which downplays any human capacity to harm the speaker. English rendering slightly adjusts Greek word order to deliver a clear and forceful confession of trust. |
