Exegesis
The declaration u-nekaveh lakh {וּנְקַוֶּה־לָּךְ | u-nə-ka-veh lakh} ‘and we hope in You’ is supported by ki {כִּי־ | ki} ‘because’, culminating in attah asita et-kol-eleh {אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ אֶת־כָּל־אֵלֶּה | at-tah ʿā-sî-tā ʾet-kōl-ʾěl-lê} ‘You have made all these things’, which affirms divine sovereignty over creation.
In context — Jeremiah 14:22
Is there anyone among the vanities of the nations who causes rain, or can the heavens give showers? Is it not You, LORD our God ? Therefore we hope in You, for You are the One who made all these things.
