ra.tsad describes watching with envy, addressed to a masculine plural group in Psalm 68:17.

The sole attested use addresses a masculine plural group in a context of watching with envy; the APB presents the verse’s scene of God’s innumerable chariots and holiness in Psalm 68:17, but does not isolate the term in English.

    In Psalm 68:17, the Piel imperfect form addresses masculine plural hearers in the verse’s setting of God’s chariots and Sinai in holiness. The APB renders the surrounding verse, “The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the LORD is among them, Sinai in holiness,” without identifying a separate English equivalent for this form.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Psalm 68:17, the APB presents God’s chariots, the LORD’s presence, and Sinai in holiness, but the translation does not visibly isolate this term with a distinct English rendering.
