All the Day Long

A reading of this sort strains the unity of the psalter, and of the Old Testament canon more broadly, to breaking point. There is a certain historical plausibility, too, about an imagined context of composition for the psalm in which considerations of covenant loyalty have dictated a foreign policy that has exposed the nation to vengeful reprisals from a neighbor, a suzerain-state or an imperial overlord. We all know the familiar hymn that says, "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine; Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!

As the story progresses, Maria (a plain young woman whose gentle beauty no Rochester discovers) exists as a sort of looker on while everyone else lives their adventures and tragedies.

Bromiley (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1980), 246; Ben Witherington III with Darlene Hyatt, Paul’ s Letter to the Romans: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2004), 231; and Longenecker, The Epistle to the Romans, 745, all of whom read 8:31–39 as a further instance of diatribe. Of how many churches at Rome and elsewhere might it not be said, "Thou art the man," "The beam is in thine own eye"? Even on this reading, of course, the passive-voice form of the verb, in the Greek as well as in the Hebrew, does not imply a focus on the motivation of the community in “facing” or “enduring” death, but on the cause or motive for which they were “killed” by others.

The most obvious feature of the rhetoric of the paragraph is the sequence of questions that it strings together. The main difficulty with this proposal is the sharp disparity between the psalm’s vigorous protestations of the nation’s innocence and the verdict of culpability that had been pronounced by Jeremiah and his prophetic predecessors (even as they lamented and protested at the severity of the divine sentence). I think that ‘ all day long’ means 24 hours or from morning to night, it implies only the length of time. As it is written: “ For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. Thus, for example, Charles Cranfield suggests that the quotation’s main effect is “to show that the tribulations which face Christians are nothing new or unexpected, but have long been characteristic of the life of God’s people.

The quotation is taken from Psalm 44:22, which was apparently written at some period of great national distress, at what precise period the data do not enable us to say, but probably not earlier than Josiah. The Missus proudly describes her new creation as "a gigantic five-ounce cookie packed with enough chunks of chocolate, pecans, almonds, and sunflower seeds to keep you going all day long. Commentators offer widely divergent suggestions for the date of the psalm’s composition, ranging from the early monarchy to the Maccabean period, with a significant number gravitating toward a date of composition in the early exilic period, or in the years that immediately preceded the exile.

Within this section of the letter, explicit citations of Scripture are extremely rare, compared with the far greater density of citation elsewhere in the letter: apart from 8:36, the only other direct quotation from the Old Testament in chapters 5–8 is the fleeting reference to the commandment against covetousness in 7:7.Within a context of this sort, the protest of the psalmist is that these events have come on the nation not because of their own sin but “because of you” (v. The performance is from a CD [Signum, SIGCD080, dating from 2006] by the excellent Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, under its then director, the inspirational Judy Martin. This is without doubt a superb novel, and probably the one book by Spring that is still being read more than 40 years after his death. Those who have ears to hear will hear and understand that the people of God, reckoned as sheep to be slaughtered, are suffering with Christ (Rom.

In 1931, after reporting on a political meeting at which Lord Beaverbrook was the speaker, Beaverbrook was so impressed by Spring's piece that he arranged for Spring to be offered a post with the Evening Standard in London, as a book reviewer. pages, text in english, Gold embossing-back / 510 Seiten, Text auf englisch, Goldpräge-Rücken Howard Spring (10 February 1889 - 3 May 1965) was a Welsh author and journalist. To begin with, there is the fact that the immediately preceding verse, Romans 8:35, is a question, not an assertion: its function is not to assert that the people of Christ suffer, but rather (presupposing that this is the case) to ask whether those sufferings can have the effect of separating Christ’s people from his love.But it is difficult to see how, on this reading, the psalm citation can continue to carry any of its original force as a protesting lament. The image in verse 22b, similarly, in which the people are depicted as having been “accounted as sheep for the slaughter,” retains the negative sense that was carried by the similar expression in verse 11. v. 30) and assuring them that “neither death, nor life … nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (8:38–39).
