Exegesis
The Hiphil perfect mavtichi {מַבְטִיחִי | maḇ-ṭî-ḥî} “caused me to trust” begins the second clause in parallel, and al-šəḏê ʾimmî {עַל־שְׁדֵי אִמִּי | ʿal-šəḏê ʾimmî} “upon my mother’s breasts” specifies the setting of that trust. This chiastic framing of divine action in physical birth and emotional security underscores God’s comprehensive care.
