Notably, it can be employed sarcastically to indicate that someone, e.g. one's host, is being less than generous . </P> <P> This phrase, in Hebrew כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה (kōsî rəwāyāh), is translated in the traditionally used King James Version as my cup runneth over . Newer translations of the phrase include "my cup overflows" and "my cup is completely full ." The 23rd psalm, in which this phrase appears, uses the image of God as a shepherd and the believer as a sheep well cared - for . Julian Morgenstern has suggested that the word translated as "cup" could contain a double meaning: both a "cup" in the normal sense of the word, and a shallow trough from which one would give water to a sheep . Other interpreters have suggested that verses 5 and 6 of Psalm 23 do not carry forward the "shepherd" metaphor begun in verse 1, but that these two verses are set in some other, entirely human, setting . Andrew Arterbury and William Bellinger read these verses as providing a metaphor of God as a host, displaying hospitality to a human being . Thus, alongside other actions in Psalm 23, such as preparing a table, and anointing one's guest with oil, providing a full or even overflowing cup for him to drink from can be read as an illustration of God's generosity to the Psalmist . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> "My Cup Runneth Over" </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Single by Ed Ames </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> from the album My Cup Runneth Over </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> B - side </Th> <Td> "It Seems a Long Long Time" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Released </Th> <Td> 1967 (1967) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Genre </Th> <Td> Traditional pop </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Length </Th> <Td> 2: 45 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Label </Th> <Td> RCA Victor </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Songwriter (s) </Th> <Td> Harvey Schmidt Tom Jones </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> <Td> Jim Foglesong Joe Reisman </Td> </Tr> </Table>
