Guiding Questions: Psalms 76

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Does this Psalm resemble Psalms 46 and Psalms 48 — and how does it differ from them?
  2. Does the reference to “Shalem” actually mean Jerusalem?
  3. Is the description of God in this Psalm that of “the Just One”, “the Merciful One” or, rather, comparable to God at the Sea of Reeds (Az Yashir in the morning Tefillot)?
  4. But, in Psalms 76:10, is the description of God somewhat other?
  5. To whom are Psalms 76:12-13 addressed?
