Context & meaning
Two clauses, and they are exact opposites. Good is asked for and evil is fled from, and both concern the same subject: this wind, present and particular rather than wind in general. He is addressed once at the start and is both the one asked and the one taken refuge in. Nothing further is said about what that good or evil might consist of.
When & how to recite
The chapter places these words when the wind blows.
Reflection
The wind is treated as capable of either, and the supplication does not decide which it is. Both possibilities are named and neither is described any further.
