  • The prepositional phrase "with him" (עִמּוֹ) "profiles a landmark y [here = David] who is the human recipient (often beneficiary) of the activity of trajector x [here: YHWH, acting in loyalty]" (BHRG §38.21(2b); cf. Gen 24:12—וַעֲשֵׂה־חֶ֕סֶד עִ֖ם אֲדֹנִ֥י אַבְרָהָֽם).
  • On the phrase "because of my name" (בִשְׁמִי), see the note on בְּשִׁמְךָ in v. 13. Cf. NIV, NJPS: "through my name" (ELB, NGÜ: "durch meinen Namen").
