1 | Why is Psalm 104:8 different in KJ, NIV? | Ps 104:8 | kalos | 160388 | ||
Ps 104 refers to the original creation Waterrose: Welcome to the forum! If you read Ps. 104:8 in context, I believe you will find that this entire Psalm is speaking of the Creation, rather than the Great Flood of Genesis 7. 'Psalm 104:1-35. In vivid poetic detail, the psalmist sings of the Lord's glory in creation...He refers to the original creation...' '104:6-9. While this might sound like the worldwide flood of Gen. 6-9, it continues to refer to the creation, esp. Gen. 1:9,10 regarding the third day of creation.' (The MacArthur Study Bible, John MacArthur, Word Publishing, 1997) Grace to you, Kalos |

Thanks for the reference to The MacArthur Study Bible. What translation is that in? But that does not answer my Q1, Q2, Q3. Will someone from the Lockman Foundation answer these questions? Dennis |

Dennis: The MacArthur Study Bible is available only in the New King James Version. My MacArthur Bible is the one I use more than any other edition of the Bible. I have been using it virtually every day since I first got it eight years ago. I highly recommend it. As for the Lockman Foundation answering your questions, this forum is not read or monitored by the Lockman Foundation. As far as I know, no one from the NASB translation committee regularly reads or monitors StudyBibleForum.com either. I can answer one of your questions. The NASB and KJV are are not translated from the same Greek text. So there would be MINOR variations between the two translations, as there are between the two different Greek texts. Grace to you, Kalos |

Kalos, To one of your comments in your last paragraph: the NASB and KJV are not translated from Greek texts, and specifically the Psalms, which my primary question is about. Now, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and think that you were just typing real fast and made a human error. I assume that you know that the OT is translated from the Hebrew and Aramaic texts and that it is the NT that is translated from the Greek texts. Unless you meant that the OT of the NASB and KJV are translated from the Septuagint, which is the Greek translation of the OT. But they are not. Only parts of the OT are compared with the Septuagint and may be in the footnotes of a Bible. But, I don't believe that you meant that either. I quickly went to netbible.com, which you refer to in your profile, and saw that it said about that translation, "biblical scholars who are working directly from the best currently available Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts". So, I assume that you knew that. So, with the understanding that that was just a mistake, that is a "minor" issue. I will put that issue aside. Dennis |
