Psalm 17/18
Cross-ref to 2 Kingdoms
- v4 parallel to Jonah
Psalm 22/23
Verse 5
Translations
From Hebrew:
- King James: “my cup runneth over”
- ESV: “my cup overflows”
- NET: “my cup is completely full”
From Greek:
- LES: “your drinking cup is satisfying as the best
- NETS: “your cup was supremely intoxicating”
- Brenton: “thy cup cheers me like the best”
- HTM: “Thy cup which fillest me, how excellent it is!”
Orthodox Study Bible:
- OSB: “Your cup runs over”
New English Translation (NET) has a note the Hebrew word means ‘saturated’ or ‘filled up’, rather than ‘overflows’. But the word in Greek also has the basic meaning of ‘saturate’ (or ‘fillest’ as HTM puts it) with ‘intoxication’ as a specialized meaning, that is ‘saturated with wine’. (St Gregory of Nyssa develops his idea of ‘sober drunkeness’ with this verse—among others such as Ephesians 5.18 and Acts 2.15.) This example ends up expounding on why English Bibles even if translated from the Hebrew need to examine the Greek, to understand how the earliest translators understood the text
