Psalms 85:5
Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
BSB
ASV
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
KJV
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? See how the psalmist makes bold to plead. We are in time as yet and not in eternity, and does not time come to an end, and therefore thy wrath! Wilt thou be angry always as if it were eternity? Is there no boundary to thine indignation? Will thy wrath never have done? And if for ever angry, yet wilt thou be angry with us, thy favoured people, the seed of Abraham, thy friend?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
