| 1. Linguistic Exegesis The verse begins with lamnatzeach mizmor ledavid {לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד | lam-naṣ-ṣē-aḥ miz-mōr lə-dā-wiḏ}, indicating liturgical direction and Davidic attribution. The Tetragrammaton Yahweh {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh} functions as the verbal subject. Two causal circumstantial modifiers, beuzzekha {בְּעֻזֶּךָ | bə-ʿuz-zə-ḵā} and uvishuatkha {וּבִישׁוּעָתְךָ | u-vi-šū-ʿāṯ-ḵā}, frame the source of the king’s joy. The verbs yismakh {יִשְׂמַח | yiś-maḥ} and yegil {יְגִיל | ye-gil} form synonymous parallelism, with the adverb meod {מְאֹד | mə-ʾōḏ} intensifying the second clause. The placement of melekh {מֶלֶךְ | me-leḵ} within the chiastic structure shifts focus from divine provision to royal response. |
