A scroll in the verse's clause · dominant
In Psalm 56:9, the form is a feminine singular construct noun within the verse's clause concerning the speaker's enemies turning back when he calls. The APB renders the verse, "Then my enemies will turn back on the day I call; this I know, that God is for me," without an identifiable English counterpart for the term.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Psalm 56:9, the APB presents the verse as a plea in which enemies turn back, but its loose wording provides no clear English rendering identifiable with this noun.
