Exegesis
The conjunction ve-nichat {וְנִחַת | wə-ni-ḥaṯ} ‘and is bent’ (Niphal perfect) links that instruction to its effect on the keshet nechushah {קֶשֶׁת־נְחוּשָׁה | qe-šeṯ nə-ḥū-šāh} ‘bronze bow.’
In context — Psalm 18:34
He teaches my hands for battle, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
