Exegesis
The second clause shifts from outward conduct to inward devotion: tefillati {וּֽתְפִלָּתִ֥י | û-tepillātî} ‘and my prayer’ is the subject, and zakkah {זַכָּֽה | zakkāh} ‘pure’ is the predicate. English supplies “there is” and “is” to represent the implied copula while keeping the parallel movement from actions to worship.
Root and etymology
consonantszayin–kaf–heh
“be clean, be acquitted”
In context — Job 16:17
For there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
