Exegesis
This is followed by the Qal imperfect yisbe'u {יִשְׂבּ֥עוּ | yiś-bə-ʿū} and Hiphil perfect vehinichu {וְהִנִּ֥יחוּ | wə-hin-nî-ḥū} with yitram {יִ֝תְרָ֗ם | yit-rām} leollehem {לְעוֹלְלֵֽיהֶם | lə-ʿol-le-lê-hem}, describing satisfaction in offspring and inheritance succession. The chiastic arrangement and parallel syntax contrast mortal pursuits with God’s sustaining care.
In context — Psalm 17:14
By Your hand, O LORD , deliver me from men of this world whose portion is in life; You fill their bellies with what You have stored up . They are satisfied with children and leave their remainder to their infants.
