Exegesis
The jussive veyarum {וְיָרוּם | wə-yā-rūm} ‘and may he be exalted’ introduces a petition clause, governing Elohei yishi {אֱלוֹהֵי יִשְׁעִי | ʾĕ-lō-hê yiš-ʿî} ‘God of my salvation’ in a construct chain that emphasizes personal possession and trust. The English renders the parallelism and petition through semicolons and a separate sentence to maintain poetic flow.
