Exegesis
The Hifil imperative haṭ {הַֽט | haṭ} ‘incline’ and the Qal imperative šəmaʿ {שְׁמַע | šə-maʿ} ‘hear’ form a parallel intensification, while the construct phrase ʾoznĕḵā lî {אָזְנְךָ לִי | ʾoz-nə-ḵā lī} ‘Your ear to me’ underscores relational intimacy.
In context — Psalm 17:6
I have cried out to You, O God , for You will answer me; turn Your ear to me and hear my speech .
