וָאֶתְפַּלֵּ֣ל אֶל־יְהוָה֮ וָאֹמַר֒ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֗ה אַל־תַּשְׁחֵ֤ת עַמְּךָ֙ וְנַחֲלָ֣תְךָ֔ אֲשֶׁ֥ר פָּדִ֖יתָ בְּגָדְלֶ֑ךָ אֲשֶׁר־הוֹצֵ֥אתָ מִמִּצְרַ֖יִם בְּיָ֥ד חֲזָקָֽה׃
At nanalangin ako sa Walang-Hanggan, at sinabi ko: “Panginoong Walang-Hanggan, huwag Mong lipulin ang Iyong bayan at ang Iyong mana na tinubos Mo sa pamamagitan ng Iyong kadakilaan, na inilabas Mo mula sa Egipto sa pamamagitan ng makapangyarihang kamay.

ואמר ה, Moses uses G-d’s attribute spelled with the letters aleph dalet.
Tur HaArokh
ואמר אד-ני אלוקים...אל תשחת עמך, I said: “Lord, G’d, do not destroy, etc.” This had been Moses’ prayer before he descended from the Mountain, a prayer that had been responded to by G’d with the words: “I have reconsidered the evil that I said I would bring upon My people.” Moses did not mention the content of the prayers he offered during his forty days on the mountain after he had destroyed the golden calf, and executed the people most guilty of dancing around that calf for, in the words of Job 11,9, “its measure is longer than the earth,” [it would have been beyond the common people’s ability to comprehend. Ed.]
Rabbeinu Bahya
אדני אלו-הים אל תשחת עמך ונחלתך, “O G’d, attribute of Justice, do not destroy Your people and your inheritance!” We discussed previously that this is a formula for the attribute of Justice. We encountered this already in Deut. 3,24 when Moses introduced his plea אתה החילות להראות with these words. I discussed this formula in connection with Exodus 20,1.
