Exegesis
The verse begins with the piel imperfect yemallet {יֽ͏ְמַלֵּ֥ט | yə-mallêṭ} ‘deliver’, followed by the particle-adjective ’î-nāqî {אִֽי־נָקִ֑י | ’î-nāqî} ‘not innocent’, creating a cause-and-effect sequence with the conjunction-prefixed nifal imperfect wə-nimmalêṭ {וְ֝נִמְלַ֗ט | wə-nimmalêṭ} ‘and be delivered’. The prepositional phrase בְּבֹר כַּפֶּֽיךָ (bə-bôr kappê-ĥā) ‘through purity of your hands’ indicates instrumentality. The Verb–Adjective–Verb–Prepositional Phrase structure highlights divine initiative and the efficacy of righteous action.
