of their 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 H341-27
their hostile-ones
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle masculine plural construct of איב with 3rd person masculine plural suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle אֹיֵב denotes "one who is hostile" or "enemy." The masculine plural construct with 3mp suffix yields "their hostile-ones," preserving both the participial force and the pronominal suffix. |
