Exegesis
The conjunction wəʾet {וְאֶת־ | wəʾet} introduces the construct chain yirʾē Yəhōwāh {יִרְאֵ֣י יְהוָ֣ה | yirʾē Yəhōwāh} ‘those who fear the LORD’, which functions as the object of the Piel imperfect verb yəḥabbed {יְכַבֵּ֑ד | yəḥabbed} ‘he honors’.
In context — Psalm 15:4
In whose eyes a vile person is despised , but he honors those who fear the LORD ; he swears to his own harm and does not change.
