Exegesis
The verse opens with the Piel imperfect verb yeshavʿu {יְשַׁוְּעוּ | yə-šawwəʿû} ‘they cried out’, marking continuous urgent pleading.
It then uses the conjunction and negative existential particle ve-ʾēn {וְאֵין | wə-ʾên} ‘and there is not’ with the noun moshiaʿ {מוֹשִׁיעַ | mô-šîaʿ} ‘deliverer’ to assert the absence of rescue.
