The Key Word — מְפַלְּטִ֗י, me.fa.le.Tigenerated
The word מְפַלְּטִ֗י (me.fa.le.Ti) is a piel participle meaning 'he has delivered me.' It comes from the root פָּלַט (palat), which means to escape or slip away. This term conveys the idea of being rescued from danger, emphasizing God's active role in delivering the psalmist from his enemies.
In this context, the use of the participle suggests an ongoing state of deliverance. The psalmist acknowledges that God continually rescues him, highlighting a relationship of trust and reliance on God's protection.

The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint show agreement in the core elements of the verse, with a word-by-word correspondence for most terms. However, the Septuagint's rendering emphasizes God's nature more than the specific action of deliverance found in the Hebrew.

In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use.

That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
