Exegesis
The first clause employs the imperative verb zakrah-li {זָכְרָה־לִּ֥י | zākh-rāh-lî} ‘remember to me’ followed by the prepositional phrase al-zot {עַל־זֹאת | ʿal-zōth} ‘on this’, specifying the grounds for the appeal.
In context — Nehemiah 13:14
Remember me for this, my God , and do not erase my acts of kindness which I have done in the house of my God and in its services.
