Dorogoi Felix,

It's the 3fs Pu`al perf of the root `-P-L to lift up or swell up [with
pride].
In our transliteration scheme it is `uPP:LFH where F is Qamets. The : is a
vocal shewa. The subject of the verb is NePe$, feminine; hence the 3fs verb
and the feminine adjective YF$:RFH, upright, straight, on the level.

Translate "Look! His soul in him is swelled up: [it is] not upright;
but the just man shall live by means of (B:) his faith."

Shalom
Ben
