Exegesis
The imperfect tastireni {תַּסְתִּירֵֽנִי | tastîrēnî} ‘you will hide me’ expresses the desire for concealment under divine care. The fronting of protective imagery before the petition and the parallel imperatives create poetic emphasis on reliance.
In context — Psalm 17:8
Preserve me as the pupil of the eye; conceal me beneath the shadow of Your wings.
