Lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me.”
And those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied.

Psalms 38:15
In thee, O Lord, do I hope - I have no helper but thee.
Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God - Thou art eternal in thy compassions, and wilt hear the prayer of a penitent soul. In the printed copies of the Hebrew text we have Adonai Elohai , Lord my God; but, instead of Adonai , one hundred and two of Kennicott' s and De Rossi' s MSS. read Yehovah . As this word is never pronounced by the Jews, and they consider it dreadfully sacred, in reading, wherever it occurs, they pronounce Adonai ; and we may well suppose that Jewish scribes, in writing out copies of the sacred Scriptures, would as naturally write Adonai for Yehovah, as they would in reading supply the former for the latter.
