# Your enemies hurl insults

The enemies shouting insults at the king is spoken of as if insults were an object that the enemies throw violently at the king. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# they mock the footsteps of your anointed one

Here "footsteps" represents where the king goes. Alternate translation: "they mock your anointed one wherever he goes" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
