portion
me.nat denotes an assigned share, whether provision for temple personnel or the allotted outcome pictured in a cup.
The attested use centers on assigned shares: provisions set aside for offerings and for priestly or Levitical personnel, with Psalm 11:6 applying the same allocation language to the wicked person's cup. In Psalm 63:11, the supplied translation does not isolate the term's contribution, so its particular relation within that verse remains uncertain.

In 2 Chronicles 31:3 the singular construct form introduces the king's property set aside for specified burnt offerings, and in 2 Chronicles 31:4 it concerns what Jerusalem's inhabitants were commanded to give to priests and Levites. The plural construct forms in Nehemiah 12:44, Nehemiah 12:47, and Nehemiah 13:10 occur with portions gathered, given daily, consecrated, or withheld for priests, Levites, singers, and gatekeepers; in Psalm 11:6 the singular construct form identifies the scorching wind as the share of the wicked person's cup. Psalm 63:11 also has a singular construct form, but the APB rendering of that verse does not make the term's specific contribution identifiable.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the surrounding clauses with “portion” or “portions,” including provisions for offerings and temple personnel and the wicked person's cup in Psalm 11:6. Psalm 63:11 does not show a clear English rendering for this token.
