| Aug 8, 2013 at 14:17 | comment | added | Frank Luke | @Sarah, Biblical Hebrew verbs don't have tense as we know it (modern Hebrew does). The same form of a verb can be past, present, or future. Let me give an example: barak can mean "he blessed," "he blesses," or even "he will bless" depending on the context. Typically, a verb in the imperfect state will be future tense, but it doesn't have to be. If I put a waw-consecutive on it, it's past tense. | |
| Aug 7, 2013 at 22:58 | comment | added | user2027 | @FrankLuke, is the tense of Hebrew verbs generally obscure and determined by the translators? Or have we obscured them by through translation? IT makes sense that there is past, present and future addressed in this Psalm. Why then do the translators dismiss it? | |

formatted. Changed some confusing words to scholarly, less ambiguous terms.

| Jun 26, 2013 at 17:12 | comment | added | Frank Luke | Welcome aboard! I agree that Hebrew verbs must be translated from context, but it would help readers if you would use the scholarly-accepted names for Hebrew verb states. I had to read this a few times to get the sense of what you are saying. Are my edits in line with your intentions? | |
