Guiding Questions: Psalms 60 - The Digital Home for Conservative Judaism

Guiding Questions: Psalms 60

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

The term “shushan eduth” is not translated in the JPS English text and it will occur again in Psalms 69:1; might it possibly be a musical term?
Would Psalms 60:3 indicate that the Psalmist is in serious difficulty?
In Psalms 60:4 would the difficulty seem to be personal or national?
In Psalms 60:8-9 does his description seem to be that of a ruler or of an individual (note, in particular, “Judah my scepter”)?
While Psalms 60:12-14 indicate that the difficulty is at hand, what is the final expectation and will it be through human or other means?
