The Key Word — יַצִּילֵ֗נִי, ya.tzi.Le.nigenerated
The word יַצִּילֵ֗נִי (ya.tzi.Le.ni) is a hiphil imperfect verb meaning 'he rescued me.' It is derived from the root נָצַל (natsal), which conveys the idea of snatching away or delivering from danger. This term emphasizes God's active role in providing salvation and protection.
