Psalm 113:2
"Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forevermore". NKJV. My emphasis.
1. What is "blessed"; and what the name that is blessed?
Psalm 113:2 International Standard Version.
"May the name of the Lord be blessed".
2. Is "Blessed be" a statement of fact [e.g. It be a bright day today], or a possibility [e.g. I hope it may be a bright day today], a hope, an encouragement or a command?
3. Who or what does this blessing? In Psalm 113 are servants [v1], nations [v4] and Himself [v6]. Can sources of this blessing be referenced outside the Psalm itself?
4. "The train be/is in the station". Why? Because it arrived last week.
Does "be" tell us that it happened in the past?
