Exegesis
The noun yadai {יָדַי | yā-ḏāy} ‘my hands’ anchors the ethical dimension, and the orientation phrase leneged einav {לְנֶגֶד עֵינָיו | lə-ne-ḡeḏ ʿê-nāyw} ‘before his eyes’ highlights direct divine scrutiny. In the formal rendering, the Hebrew prepositional structure is preserved to reflect poetic parallelism, whereas the dynamic translation uses causal English phrasing to convey divine reward as a response to integrity.
