sa.phaph denotes standing, attested once in a verse about the LORD's favor and protection.

The sole attestation presents sa.phaph as an infinitive-construct verbal use concerning standing; the APB’s translation gives the verse’s praise of the LORD’s favor, glory, and protection without isolating the term in English.

Senses in use

  1. Standing in the verse’s praise context · dominant

    In Psalm 84:11, הִסְתּוֹפֵף is a Hithpoel infinitive construct within a verse that calls the LORD a sun and shield and says that he does not withhold good from blameless walkers. The APB renders the surrounding verse, “For the LORD God is a sun and shield,” but does not make this form’s specific contribution identifiable in the translation.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Psalm 84:11, the APB renderings the verse as praise of the LORD’s favor, glory, and protection, but it does not visibly isolate a rendering for this infinitive-construct form.
