1 | Who is the "you" in Psalm 5:5? | Rom 5:8 | CDBJ | 42338 | ||
Since David is the writer of the Psalm is he, according to your answer talking to himself, since (you) is in the second person singular, I think not! Did you read the first four verses before you gave your answer? Psalm 5:1-5 For the director of music. For flutes. A psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. 2Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. 3In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. 4You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. 5The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. I think you better give it another shot it's pretty obvious who the YOU is. |

2 | Who is the "you" in Psalm 5:5? | Rom 5:8 | Ray | 42349 | ||
Hi CDBJ, Your post brings up a situation which I would like to make people aware of. When we put in ALL CAPS words for the sake of emphasis, we muddy up the interpretation of our thoughts. When you say that "it's pretty obvious who the YOU is" then you put it all in confusion. Is it You or you being emphasized? What is obvious when you put it all in CAPS? What makes it obvious is when you go to a translation that capitalizes pronouns of Deity and which by doing that, can show the contrast between natural man and God. NASB, Psalm 5:1-6, "Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my groaning. Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King, and my God, For to Thee do I pray. In the morning, O Lord, Thou wilt hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to Thee and eagerly watch. For Thou art not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with Thee. The boastful shall not stand before Thine eyes; Thou dost hate all who do iniquity. Thou dost destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit." I encourage all of us to be aware and sensitive to the desires for clarity and praise to our God. From the heart, Ray |

3 | Who is the "you" in Psalm 5:5? | Rom 5:8 | CDBJ | 42409 | ||
Sorry about that Ray, It should have just been (You) for emphasis. I have 11 translations in my PC on a program along with a Greek and Hebrew translation but I don't have NASB programmed in so that I can use it in conjunction with the rest and I wish I did because I actually like it the best.
