Back home again! lol
I believe the words are totally trustworthy, but when we add grammatical terms like first person singular speaking to second person singular, confusing the terms as indication of more than one person misses the mark, I think. The terms and their labels were never meant to dictate to us understanding of the Godhead.
Generally speaking, though, language really is based upon multiple human persons, and it just cannot perfectly apply outside of that limitation.
If God really is one person alone, and used our language to interact in his manifestations then you can see how that would pose confusion to us and start a polypersonal doctrine, right?
