miph.a.lah denotes deeds or works, including God’s actions that end battles and inspire awe.

Senses in use

  1. Deeds or works displayed in action · dominant

    Both occurrences use the plural construct form. In Psalm 46:9 the APB renders a sequence in which God makes battles cease and destroys weapons; in Psalm 66:5 the APB invites people to see God's “works,” described as awesome in action upon the children of man.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “works” in Psalm 66:5, while Psalm 46:9 presents the surrounding actions without an identifiable word-by-word rendering. Its wording only confirms the verses’ overall presentation.
