Exegesis
The verb precedes its two coordinated possessive subjects, ohalekha {אֹהָלֶיךָ | ʾōhă-lēykhā} and miškenōtēkā {מִשְׁכְּנֹתֶיךָ | miškenōtēkā}, each marked with a second-person masculine-singular suffix to indicate ownership by Yaʻaḳôv {יַעֲקֹב | Yaʻaḳôv} and Yiśrāʾēl {יִשְׂרָאֵל | Yiśrāʾēl}. The predicate-before-subject order heightens the sense of wonder, and the subsequent vocatives frame the commendation in balanced parallelism, reinforcing communal identity and lineage.
