(44) Loving the Lord for a Reason

Bible translators will have a field day with this episode of the Cup of Salvation! The beginning of Psalm 116:1 is normally translated as “I love the Lord”… which would be great except that the words “The Lord” are not in the text. In fact, this is the ONLY instance in all of Scripture where the verb “love” is written without depicting the object of this love. What is the Psalmist trying to say, and why would he say something so simple in such an enigmatic manner? Join Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and David Nekrutman as they uncover what the author Psalm 116 actually loves. It will really shock you.
