WORDS OF CURRENT INTEREST

[The words in this issue are related to the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly designated to be read in Christian Science churches on February 14, 1965.]

In this will I be confident
(Ps. 27:3)

The Hebrew word bezoth (in this) can indeed be so translated; but it has the alternative sense of "in spite of this." a translation which would appear to make the meaning clearer at this point. Thus the Revised Standard Version has. "Yet I will be confident"; while Briggs takes the complete phrase as meaning, "Though battle rise up against me, I shall be trusting."

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (Ps. 27:13)
