Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} appears twice to introduce causative clauses: first marking tsarah kerovah {צָרָה קְרוֹבָה | ṣā-rāh qerō-ḇāh} ‘trouble is near’ with noun-adjective fronting for emphasis, then introducing the existential ein ozer {אֵין עוֹזֵר | ʾên ʿō-zēr} ‘there is no helper’, highlighting complete abandonment. The Hebrew arrangement intensifies both distress and the absence of aid.
In context — Psalm 22:11
Do not be far from me, for trouble is near; for there is no one to help .
