Exegesis
The verse begins with avarekh {אֲבָרֵ֗ךְ | ʾă-vā-rēḵ} ‘I will bless’, a first person Piel imperfect expressing deliberate praise toward yehowah {יְ֭הוָה | yə-hō-wāh} ‘LORD’.
The particle et {אֶת־ | ʾeṯ} marks the definite object.
In context — Psalm 16:7
I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; even at night my kidneys instruct me.
