فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ so I called to them

He says, "My Lord was angry today with an anger like none before it, and none like it will be after it, and indeed there was for me a supplication which I invoked against my people,"
دَعَوْتُ I invoked
A past-tense verb with an 'I' ending built into its shape, opening a clause that describes the supplication just named. The first-person subject is carried inside the verb, so it reads 'I made (it)', telling what was done with that prayer.
