Exegesis
The temporal clause beyom-qareʾenu {בְּיוֹם־קָרְאֵֽנוּ | bə-yôm-qār-ʾē-nū} uses an infinitive construct to specify “when we call.” The paratactic sequence of imperative and cohortative heightens the plea’s intensity.
Root and etymology
q-r-ʾqof–resh–aleph
“to call, summon”
In context — Psalm 20:9
LORD , save! May the King answer us on the day we call .
