Psalms 38:19

But mine enemies are lively - Instead of חיים chaiyim , lively, I would read חינם chinam , without cause; a change made by the half of one letter, נ nun for a י yod . See the parallel places, Psalm 35:19 ; (note); Psalm 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.
