Psalm 77:2

Maybe they have a SORE need to avoid it and are hoping the topic will just "fade away".

 

Have you considered that there may be a reason for the translation that you are not aware of...

For example...the Spanish Reina Valera appears to agree more with the AV and Geneva here...

Psa 77:2 Al Señor busqué en el día de mi angustia: Mi mal corría de noche y no cesaba: Mi alma rehusaba consuelo.

What say ye?

If only we had a time machine...then we could ask the translators themselves, huh?

Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible # 3027 says this Hebrew word "yawd" (translated "sore" in Psalm 77:2 in the KJV) can be used as a noun. adv. etc., in a great variety of applications, both lit. and fig., both proximate and remote.

You may question the translation choice, but you cannot say this is an error in the KJV.

Let me encourage you guys to quit trying to strain at a gnat, but rather meditate on this blessed Psalm which teaches discouraged believers the way back to fellowship with God. You or a loved one may need this encouragement some day.

Psalms 77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

Amen.

 

Of course, it is possible that the KJV translators may have had a reason for their rendering that we are not aware of. It is more likely that the reason for their rendering is the
one that has been presented that they were influenced by the opinions of Jewish rabbi David Kimchi or by other sources such as the Geneva that were influenced by Kimchi. How often do KJV-only advocates consider that other translators may have had valid reasons for their renderings that they are not aware of?

Have you considered the possibility that the case for the literal rendering of the Hebrew at Psalm 77:2 may be stronger than the case for the
opinion of an unsaved Jewish rabbi? </font>[/QUOTE]Of course I have considered these things, however with no conclusive concrete evidence for your rabbi theory & with the agreement of other contemporary translations I choose to give the Scriptures the benefit of the doubt.

That should be our approach every time...instead of trying to cast doubt on a rendering we are unsure of!
