Exegesis
The Hiphil participle moshia {מוֹשִׁ֣יעַ | mō-šî-ʿa} ‘savior’ modifies the participle chosim {חוֹסִים | ḥō-sîm} ‘those who seek refuge,’ creating an appositional title.
In context — Psalm 17:7
Show Your marvelous steadfast love; O Savior of those who seek refuge, You who save by Your right hand from those who rise up against them.
