Exegesis
The preposition mi with misgeroteihem {מִמִּסְגְּרוֹתֵיהֶם | mi-mis-gə-rō-ṯê-hem} ‘from their enclosures’ specifies a source from defensive structures. The Hebrew parallelism between fading and trembling underscores the enemy’s collapse, and this dual imagery is maintained in English through corresponding verbs.
Root and etymology
ס־ג־ר
“to shut, enclose”
In context — Psalm 18:45
The sons of foreigners will fade away, and they will come trembling out of their enclosures .
