Exegesis
The Hiphil verb takḵrîʿâ {תַּכְרִיעַ | takḵrîʿâ} ‘You cause to bow down’ drives the causative action, with qāmay {קָמַי | qāmay} ‘those who rise against me’ identifying the adversaries.
In context — Psalm 18:39
You girded me with strength for the battle ; You made those who rose against me bow down under me.
