Psalms 38:19

But mine enemies are lively - Instead of chaiyim , lively, I would read chinam , without cause; a change made by the half of one letter, nun for a yod . See the parallel places, Psalms 35:19 (note); Psalms 79:5 (note). See also the Preliminary Dissertation to Dr. Lowth' s Isaiah, p. 40: "But without cause my enemies have strengthened themselves; and they who wrongfully hate me are multiplied." Here the one member of the verse answers to the other.
