Lowy Collection, Library and Archives Canada The Hebrew word ““le-David” heads 73 of the 150 Psalms. This may indicate that thes Psalms were authored by, dedicated to, or otherwise associated with David. The term “le-David” can mean authored by, dedicated to, or otherwise associated with David. The Hebrew Bible, which Christians know as the Old Testament, describes the covenant between the Israelites and a single God, whose name is designated by the tetragram YHWH, read from left in Hebrew. Since the 4th century BCE, Jews have avoided saying this sacred name out loud, using instead Adonai, or “my Lord”. Only the high priest could pronounce it, once a year, when blessing the people on Yom Kippur (Numbers 6:22-27).
