| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural construct + 1st person common singular suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural in construct with a 1st person singular suffix denotes "those who are rising" belonging or related to "me." The rendering preserves the participial sense (ongoing rising) and the plural masculine form with the attached "my." |

| Rationale | 'my rising ones' is not idiomatic in English; contextually, these are those who rise against, so 'my adversaries' accurately renders the sense. |
