Bible Question:
A question of capitalization; Psalm 72 I submit this to you for your consideration. It is in the hope that in this time of Bible translations galore that you will develop your own, marking your Bibles, putting in changes of capitalization (which are interpretive); for it is how we individually interpret scriptures that we get to know (Him) for ourselves personally. All nations shall serve Him; all nations shall call Him blessed. The capitalization will matter to you if you are (hopefully) looking for the King and not a king. Parenthesis mine for comparison, text NASB,choosing some marginal notes, and some NKJ. Psalm 72 A Psalm of Solomon l. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness to the king's Son. 2. He will judge (Thy) people with righteousness, and Thine afflicted with justice. 3. The mountains will bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. 4. He will vindicate the afflicted of the people, save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor. 5. They will fear Thee while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations. 6. He will come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, like showers that water the earth. 7. In His days the righteous will flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon is no more. 8. He shall also rule from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. 9. The nomads of the desert will bow before Him; and His enemies lick the dust. 10. The kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts. 11.Yes, all kings shall bow down before (Him). All nations shall serve Him. 12. For He will deliver the needy when he cries for help; the afflicted also, and him who has no helper. 13. He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy He will save. 14. He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; and their blood will be precious in His sight. 15. *So may he*live; and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; and let them pray for him continually; let them bless him all day long. 16. *May there be*abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains; its fruit will wave like the cedars of Lebanon; and may those from the city flourish like vegetation of the earth. 17. His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in (Him). All nations shall call Him blessed. 18. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone works wonders. 19. And blessed be His glorious name forever; and may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen. 20. *The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. |
Bible Answer: Hello, Ray. I'll say this for you, you sure stick to your guns -- in itself not a bad trait at all. My brother, no sarcasm or criticism of you is intended here. Just a thought, OK? My question: If we needed capitalization, then why did God not include it in the original Greek manuscripts of the NT? Did God make a mistake when he left out capitalization? God bless you, Ray, for your zeal in the Word. |
