Hi Lutero,The Douay version’s interpretation is Wrong completely. The KJV is right. In the KJV God says He magnifies His Word (scripture) above His name.
Do you magnify the Bible above God? Then it is true and I never believed it. You, Protestants, make an idol of a book.
As for Catholics, we put God above everything. Including the Bible.
Which means he magnifies or gives above all else first preference to his Holy Word then His own name. Which also means He cannot lie because Word is truth and stands forever from generation to generation. Jesus affirms this in Mathew 24:35. God will not magnify traditions though. The Douay interpretation is twisted for ulterior motives.
No Lutero. We don’t idolize the Bible. We honor God more than any creature. And whether you like it or not, the Bible is a simple creature object.
The NABRE is also worse like the rats plague:I bow low toward your holy temple;I praise your name for your mercy and faithfulness.For you have exalted over allyour name and your promise.
That sounds better than the KJV rendering to me. In both cases, it is recognized as exalted above all. And His word is not construed as being pitted against God.
Sincerely,
De Maria
