Exegesis
The direct object ammim {עַמִּים | ʿam-mīm} ‘peoples’ with tachtai {תַּחְתָּי | taḥ-tāy} ‘under me’ expresses sovereign dominion. This compact parataxis underscores dual divine actions: retributive delivery and authoritative subjection.
In context — Psalm 18:47
God gives me vengeance and subdues peoples under me.
