Exegesis
The genitive mishmei kodsho {מִשְּׁמֵי קָדְשׁוֹ | miš-šə-mê qod-šô} ‘from his holy heavens’ expresses transcendent origin, while the instrumental bigvurot yesha yemino {בִּגְבוּרוֹת יֵשַׁע יְמִינוֹ | biḡ-vu-rōṯ yê-šaʿ yə-mî-nô} ‘with the mighty acts of salvation of his right hand’ emphasizes divine empowerment. The shift from perfect to imperfect aspect underscores both present assurance and promised response.
In context — Psalm 20:6
Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed ; from His holy heavens He will answer him with the saving strength of His right hand.
