Exegesis
The adversative conjunction aph {אַף | ʾaf} ‘also’ introduces parallelism with minqamay {מִן־קָמַי | minqāmay} ‘from those rising against me’, where the Qal participle intensifies the active threat.
In context — Psalm 18:48
The one who delivers me from my enemies—You also lift me high above those who rise against me; from the man of violence , You rescue me.
