עֲשׂ֑וּ כִּ֣י יְהוָ֗ה אָמַ֤ר אֶל־דָּוִד֙ לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר בְּ⁠יַ֣ד ׀ דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדִּ֗⁠י הוֹשִׁ֜יעַ אֶת־עַמִּ֤⁠י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מִ⁠יַּ֣ד פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וּ⁠מִ⁠יַּ֖ד כָּל־אֹיְבֵי⁠הֶֽם

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [since Yahweh spoke about David, saying, ‘By the hand of David my servant, I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all of their enemies,’ do it]
