my Mighty Powers

Rootאלה (ʾ-l-h)
Core Meaningspower, strength, might, deity, divine authority
Semantic RangeSupreme God of Israel (often with singular verbs); gods (pagan or general); angels; judges/magistrates; superlative for greatness/might.
Conceptual SignificanceElohim emphasizes God's transcendent power as Creator and Ruler (Gen 1:1), often in plural form suggesting majesty or divine council; used over 2500 times, it underscores monotheism amid polytheistic contexts, distinguishing YHWH as the true Elohim while occasionally denoting subordinate beings like angels (Ps 82).
Morphological NotesHNcmpc: Hebrew Noun, common gender, masculine grammatical form, plural, construct state (genitive, 'of me/my').
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the plural construct form (HNcmpc) of אֱלֹהֵי as 'Mighty Powers' to reflect the morphological masculine plural and construct state indicating possession ('my'), while rooting in the core semantics of strength and power from the ʾ-l-h cluster; it avoids generic 'God' to highlight the plural majesty and semantic depth of divine might. The form accurately matches the morphology across all listed surfaces.
