Exegesis
This is mirrored in bekha {בְּךָ | bə-kā} ‘in You’ and batchu {בָּטְחוּ | bā-ṭ-ḥû} ‘they trusted’, concluding with we-lo boshu {וְלֹא־בּוֹשׁוּ | wə-lō bō-šû} ‘and were not ashamed’. The use of Qal perfects alongside a Niphal perfect conveys completed historical actions, and the chiasm underscores full reliance on the divine rescuer.
In context — Psalm 22:5
To You they cried out and were delivered ; in You they trusted and were not ashamed.
