Exegesis
The coordinate clause with û-moshel {וּמֹשֵׁל | ū-mō-šēl} ‘and ruling’ predicates ongoing governance over ba-goyim {בַּגּוֹיִם | ba-gô-yim} ‘nations’. Hebrew fronting of the possessive phrase emphasizes that all authority belongs to the divine before describing its exercise among foreign peoples. In English, a subject–verb–object structure clarifies the action of ruling while preserving the cause–effect relationship.
Root and etymology
g-w-ygimel–waw–yod
“nations; peoples”
In context — Psalm 22:28
For the kingship belongs to the LORD , and He rules over the nations .
