na.sach describes being removed or dislodged, from land or by the tearing down of a house.

    In Deuteronomy 28:63, the Niphal sequential perfect form occurs in the warning that the people will be removed from the land they are entering; the APB renders the clause “you shall be pulled from the land.” The Qal imperfect forms in Proverbs 2:22 and Proverbs 15:25 occur respectively with the treacherous being removed from the land and the LORD's action against the house of the proud; the APB renders these clauses “will be uprooted from it” and “pulls down.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clear clauses with “pulled from the land,” “will be uprooted from it,” and “pulls down.” In Psalm 52:7, its translation does not isolate an English rendering for the supplied form, so that verse cannot establish a more specific rendering.
