Exegesis
The clause kerov khasdekha {כְּרֹ֥ב חַסְדֶּֽךָ | kə-rōv ḥa-sed-kha} ‘according to the abundance of your mercy’ serves as an adverbial intensifier. English rendering employs relative clauses and infinitive purpose clauses to preserve Hebrew syntax and emphasis.
In context — Nehemiah 13:22
And I said to the Levites that they should purify themselves and come to guard the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Also this, remember me, my God , and have compassion on me according to the greatness of your mercy .
