from-my-enemies
An adversary or enemy, specifically one who bears enmity or hostility toward another individual or group. The term encompasses both personal and collective opposition, often referring to enemies in armed conflict, but also extending to any context of antagonism or active opposition. In the Hebrew Bible, it designates those opposed to individuals (e.g., David's personal enemies), to the people as a group (Israelites' national foes), or, metaphorically, to abstract or cosmic adversaries.

SIBI-P1 Translation H341-11
from my hostile-ones
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle masculine plural construct of אֹיֵב with prefixed מִן ("from") and 1st person common singular suffix ("my"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The base form אֹיֵב is the Qal active participle meaning "one who is hostile" functioning nominally as "enemy." The masculine plural construct with 1cs suffix and prefixed מִן yields "from my hostile-ones," preserving participial force, plurality, and possession. |
