2. My God, we know thee —the singular, "My," is used distributively, each one so addressing God. They, in their hour of need, plead their knowledge of God as the covenant-people, while in their acts they acknowledge Him not (compare Matthew 7:21 ; Matthew 7:22 ; Titus 1:16 ; also Isaiah 29:13 ; Jeremiah 7:4 ).
