my Lord] The R.V. has rightly dropped the capital letter, as being of the
nature of an interpretation. ‘My lord’ (adōnī)
is the title of respect and reverence used in the O.T. in addressing or
speaking of a person of rank and dignity, especially a king (Gen. 23:6; 1 Sam.
22:11; 1 Kings 1. passim, 18:7; and
frequently). (A. F. Kirkpatrick, The Book of Psalms
[The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges; Cambridge: Cambridge University
Press, 1906], 665-66)
