1 | being rhetorical in scripture | Ps 10:4 | gruvEdude | 210670 | ||
Psalms 139:7, NIV: Where can I go? Where can I flee to? is there a place where You are not ? I just cannot think of anyone scripturally desiring to get away from God. Acknowledging the omnipresence of God isn't quite the same as focusing on being away from it. Doesn't this this makes the NIV (and others that agree) look like they'd have encouraged David to rhetorically lust after Bathsheba? Isn't the NLT (I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!) better? |

Dear gruv, "I just cannot think of anyone scripturally desiring to get away from God." What about Jonah? What about sinners? Hosea 11:1-2 John 3:19-21 I see Psalm 139 is in praise of God's omnipresence, omniscience, marvelous creation and saving grace. Nothing in support of any concern about Bathsheba. Below is some background for your information: "To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. This psalm was written by David, when he lay under the reproach and calumnies of men, who laid false things to his charge; things he was not conscious of either in the time of Saul's persecution of him, or when his son Absalom rebelled against him: and herein he appeals to the heart searching and rein trying God for his innocence;..." -- John Gill Shalom Azure |

Thanks for the excellent response, Azure. Jonah and sinners definately had/have minimal if any desire to be close to God. How much did David want to flee from God when writing this Psalm? Is this verse in the correct context to have him contemplating such a desire? |
