Sunday, we will cover the first part of verse 1.
The word bless is an interesting word when one thinks about blessing as an activity which has direction from man to God.
Normally, I think of receiving a blessing. Something is given to me from God.
But in this case the word is NOT a gift. And it is NOT praise (take that Zondervan and all those dynamic equivalencers out there).
The word has to do with kneeling, submission, surrender of autonomy.
It is the word used in Gen 26 and 27 when Esau begs for his blessing.
So what was it that Jacob gave Esau that David gave to God in Ps 103?
What can I give to God?
