your spoken-words
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state (דברי) with 2ms pronominal suffix (ךָ): "your" (masculine singular). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from דבר, "to speak," and in plural construct with a 2ms suffix denotes multiple utterances belonging to or spoken by "you" (masculine singular). "Spoken-words" preserves the root’s declarative sense rather than broadening to generic "things." |
