Exegesis
The second ad anah {עַד־אָנָה | ʿad ʾā-nāh} 'how long' shifts external focus as the Qal imperfect yarum {יָרוּם | yā-rûm} 'will be exalted' with the construct noun oyvi {אֹיְבִי | ʾōy-vî} 'my enemy' and the prepositional phrase alai {עָלָי | ʿā-lāy} 'over me' conveys oppressive dominance. This chiastic arrangement contrasts internal anguish with external pressure and the English reconstructions preserve the Hebrew imperfect aspect and parallel question pattern.
In context — Psalm 13:2
How long must I keep setting counsels in my soul , with sorrow filling my heart all the day? How long will my enemy remain lifted up over me?
