Exegesis
The causal clause introduced by ki-nikra {כִּֽי־נִקְרָ֤א | kî-nik-rā} provides reason, leading to shimkha alai {שִׁמְךָ֙ עָלַ֔י | šim-ḵā ’ā-lay}, which marks divine commissioning.
In context — Jeremiah 15:16
Your words were found, and I ate them, and your word became for me a joy and gladness of my heart ; for your name was called upon me, O LORD God of hosts .
