Dear Joel,


Of course, a rendering I don't like but seems completely possible is:

I will thank thy name; more than thy mercy and more than thy truth
for thou hast increased all thy name more than thy word.


HH: No, it's not possible. The "more than" term goes with "name," not
with "word."

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
