| 11. Linguistic Exegesis The verse begins with todieni {תּוֹדִיעֵנִי | tô-dî-‘ê-nî}, a Hifil imperfect verb highlighting ongoing divine revelation. The construct phrase orach chayyim {אֹרַח חַיִּים | ’o-raḥ ḥay-yîm} tightly unites journey imagery with vitality. The noun pair sova semachot {שֹׂבַע שְׂמָחוֹת | śō-va‘ śə-mā-ḥôt} uses intensification to emphasize abundant joy. The particle et {אֶת־ | ’et} marks panekha {פָּנֶיךָ | pā-nê-ḵā} as “your presence.” Finally, the prepositional clause biminnekha netzach {בִּימִינְךָ נֶצַח | bi-yə-mî-nə-ḵā ne-ṣaḥ} functions metaphorically, locating enduring favor at the divine right hand. English renderings shift from Hebrew verb-initial order to standard subject-verb sequences while preserving poetic parallelism and theological climax. |
