my days
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state + 1st common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יום means "day" in the sense of a time-unit, whether a daylight period or broader span. The masculine plural construct form with a 1st person singular suffix yields "my days," preserving both plurality and possession. |
