In Psalm 55:9, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in a verse whose APB rendering petitions the Lord to act against opponents and describes "violence and strife in the city." The supplied translation does not make the noun's specific contribution identifiable, so the immediate setting supports only an escape-related use amid that danger.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Psalm 55:9, the APB renders the surrounding plea as "Swallow them up, O Lord; divide their tongues" and mentions "violence and strife in the city." It does not isolate an English rendering for this noun.
