Bryon:

I think you are confusing grammar with literary style.

While it is true that the examples in Psalms are human caused, that is
a literary stylistic effect that puts it grammatically as an inanimate
event that goes before God's face. In the grammatical sense,
therefore, it is the same as Genesis 6.

I think you are reading something in the text that grammar by itself
does not support.

Hi Karl,

How about if we exercise just a bit of imagination in reading the poetry
and see the human supplicants that come as "required attachments" to the
groan and the petition?

I believe the technical name for the figures in verses you quote is
metonymy. The two vv. in Psa are very much about gaining an audience
with YHWH.

Shalom,
Bryan
