Exegesis
The final nominal clause yə-šū-ʿā-ṯāh la-YHWH {יְשׁוּעָתָה לַיהוָה | yə-šū-ʿā-ṯāh la-YHWH} presents divine deliverance as an established truth. English rendering preserves the Hebrew adversative “but,” reflects the parallelism in committing and fulfilling vows, and conveys the definitive declaration of salvation coming from the LORD.
Root and etymology
