I'm looking at Psalm 8 for worship this Sunday. Looking at 8a from bopfw, this is what one verse says:
Yet you created him to be
Just less than one divine
You gave him honor as a crown
And made his glory shine
The word "created" in the first line is bothering me. And after looking through many Bible translations, every one of them says "made". I think Youngs says "caused". In my mind that's a different thing. Or at least the word created implies Jesus was created. Am I wrong and the word works, or is this an unfortunate result of needing the metre to work?
I may just use the 1650 split leaf, but I just can't stop wondering. Would anyone else use the bopfw version?
