Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} 'for' introduces the reason clause tehilati {תְהִלָּתִי | tə-hil-lā-tî} 'my praise' and attah {אָתָּה | ʾāttāh} 'you', affirming YHWH's exclusive worthiness of praise. The sequence of imperatives with first person imperfects highlights both urgent appeal and confident expectation.
