Exegesis
The verse begins with the causal conjunction ki {כִּי־ | kî} ‘for’, followed by the emphatic pronoun atah {אַתָּה | ʾat-tā} ‘You’ before the Hiphil imperfect verbs tair {תָּאִיר | tāʾîr} ‘you will light’ and yaggîah {יַגִּיהַ | yaggî’āh} ‘will enlighten’, creating a chiastic parallelism.
In context — Psalm 18:28
For You will light my lamp ; the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
