Subject: Who is the "you" in Psalm 5:5? |
Bible Note: 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 |
