Exegesis
The verse begins with the causal conjunction ki {כִּי־ | kî}, linking two divine actions.
The Piel imperfect tekaddemennu {תְקַדְּמֶנּוּ | tə-qad-də-men-nū} “you meet him” foregrounds intentional divine reception, followed by the construct phrase birkhot tov {בִּרְכוֹת טוֹב | bir-khot ṭov} “blessings of goodness,” specifying the quality of favor.
In context — Psalm 21:3
For You meet him with blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
