Exegesis

The phrase meʾîš hamas {מֵאִישׁ חָמָס | mēʾîš ḥāmās} ‘from a man of violence’ specifies the nature of the opposition, while the final Hiphil imperfect tatzileini {תַּצִּילֵנִי | taṣṣîlênî} ‘you deliver me’ closes the synonymous parallelism, framing an inclusio of habitual and consummated rescue.

In contextPsalm 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.
