Exegesis
The conjunction kî-ḥā-sîtî {כִּֽי־חָסִ֥יתִי | kî-ḥā-sîtî} introduces a causal perfect clause, with bakh {בָֽךְ | bāḵ} ‘in you’ completing the rationale. The sequence of imperative plus causal clause intensifies the psalmist’s urgent plea and expressed trust.
In context — Psalm 16:1
A Michtam of David. Protect me, O God , for I have taken refuge in You.
