Exegesis
The vav conjunction in wᵊ-gōʾālî {וְגֹאֲלִי | wᵊ-gōʾālî} links ‘my Redeemer’ to ṣûrî {צוּרִי | ṣûrî} ‘my Rock,’ framing both metaphors as aspects of divine refuge. The fronted jussive clause foregrounds the psalmist’s desire that both word and thought be devoted wholly to God.
Root and etymology
ṣ-w-rṣade–vav–resh

In context — Psalm 19:14
