Exegesis
The objects neri {נֵרִי | nêrî} ‘my lamp’ and chosheki {חָשְׁכִּי | ḥōšekî} ‘my darkness’ frame the compound name YHWH Elohai {יְֽהוָה אֱלֹהַי | Yəhôwāh ʾĕ-lō-hāy} ‘LORD my God’, accentuating divine agency in illumination. The causative force of the Hiphil imperfect underscores the LORD’s power to bring light and dispel darkness.
In context — Psalm 18:28
For You will light my lamp ; the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
