Exegesis
The locative phrases beveit Elohai {בְּבֵית אֱלֹהַי | bə-bêyt ʾĕ-lō-hāy} ‘in the house of my God’ and u-ve-mishmarav {וּבְמִשְׁמָרָיו | wə-bim-mish-mār-āv} ‘and in its services’ delineate the sphere of those deeds. The coordination underscores both the plea for positive remembrance and the plea against loss of merit, reflecting Hebrew rhetoric that couples petition and protection of reward.
