my standing

Rootעמד (ʿ-m-d)
Core Meaningsstanding, remaining, enduring, being positioned, taking one’s place
Semantic Rangeto stand physically, to remain or endure, to take one’s position, to be established, to serve or attend, to persist or continue
Conceptual Significanceעמד often conveys steadfastness, readiness, or faithful presence before God or others. It can denote physical posture, covenantal loyalty, judicial standing, or enduring stability—key themes in Israel’s understanding of faithfulness and divine service.
Morphological NotesPrimarily a masculine singular noun in construct with 1cs suffix ("my"); one occurrence is Qal perfect 1st person common singular ("I stood"). Root עמד in Qal denotes simple, intransitive standing or remaining.
Rendering RationaleThe noun form with 1st person common singular suffix ("-i") yields "my standing," preserving the core sense of עמד as being in a set or upright position. This rendering reflects the masculine singular noun in construct with a 1cs pronominal suffix, indicating personal possession. In its verbal occurrence (Qal perfect 1cs), it expresses "I stood," maintaining the same root idea of taking one’s stand.
