Exegesis
The following verb yechaltseni {יְחַלְצֵנִי | yə-ḥal-ṣē-nî} ‘he delivers me’, in the Piel imperfect, signals ongoing rescue, which the conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ introduces as the reason clause centered on chafetz {חָפֵץ | ḥā-pheṣ} ‘he delighted’, attributing the action to divine pleasure. Retaining Hebrew verb–subject–object order highlights God’s initiative and parallels past deliverance with continuous rescue to underscore the Psalmist’s confidence.
In context — Psalm 18:19
And He brought me out to a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
