ud describes sustaining or raising those upheld, as cords, the vulnerable, and the humble are presented in the Psalms.

The attested use depicts support that sustains or lifts: cords uphold the speaker, the LORD upholds the orphan and widow, and he lifts the humble. In Psalm 20:9, the sequential imperfect occurs within a plea for the king to be saved and for an answer on the day of calling, but the translation does not isolate the term's contribution.

   In Psalm 119:61, the Piel perfect occurs in the clause that the APB renders, “The cords of the wicked upheld me.” In Psalm 146:9, the Polel imperfect is in the LORD's care for the orphan and widow, while Psalm 147:6 uses a Polel active participle in the clause the APB renders, “The LORD lifts up the humble.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term's clauses with “upheld” in Psalm 119:61 and “upholds” in Psalm 146:9, while Psalm 147:6 has “lifts up.” In Psalm 20:9, its rendering does not make the term's specific contribution identifiable.
