Like a number of other East Asian languages, Japanese uses a complex system of honorifics, i.e. a system where a number of different levels of politeness are expressed in language via words, word forms or grammatical constructs. These can range from addressing someone or referring to someone with contempt (very informal) to expressing the highest level of reference (as used in addressing or referring to God) or any number of levels in-between.

One way to do this is through the usage of appropriate suffix title referred to as keishō (敬称) as shown here in the widely-used Japanese Shinkaiyaku (新改訳) Bible of 2017 by either using -san or –sama with the latter being the more formal title. This is evident in this verse in the Shinkaiyaku Bible from the form anata-sama (あなた様) “you” which is the combination of the nominal “you” anata and the suffix title –sama. Likewise, “king” is translated as ō-sama (王様) “king” which also is a combination of the nominal title ō “king” and the suffix title –sama.

Other uses of honorifics in this verse include:

• Through the usage of an honorific construction where the morphemes rare (られ) or are (され) are affixed on the verb. This is particularly done with verbs that have God as the agent to show a deep sense of reverence. Here, haka-rare-ru (計られる) or “plan” modoshiteo-rare-ru (戻しておられる) or “returning,” and togaarumonotoshiteo-rare-ru (咎ある者としておられる) or “making one guilty” are used.
• The honorific prefix go- (御 or ご) is used, as in go-jibun (ご自分), a combination of “onseself” (jibun) and the honorific prefix go-.
