I will raise my second objection to WL's Recovery Version Psalms. WL continually takes the Psalmist to task for fighting with his enemies, and not blessing them as Christ taught us to do. This to me is absurd. So why didn't WL also censure the prophet Samuel for hacking king Agag to bits? Because Agag typified the flesh? Why not criticize Joshua for laying waste the Canaanite cities with the edge of the sword, so that not a man nor beast survived? Et cetera, ad infinitum?

Or, for that matter, why not censure Jesus' "unchristian" parables about going to war (e.g. Luke 14:31,32)? Or John for writing that there was war in heaven (Revelation 12:7)? Why weren't all those angels in heaven blessing one another?

I think to give the Psalmist a different measuring stick than you give elsewhere is absurd. WL's treasured "economy" metric was threatened here in the Psalms so he abandoned the text, and on the flimsiest of pretexts.
