Guiding Questions: Psalms 10

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What question is posed as to theodicy in Psalms 10:1?
  2. How is the “Rasha” described in Psalms 10:2-4?
  3. Can any of the words of the Rasha be trusted (Psalms 10:7)?
  4. Who, among others, is the victim of the evil-doer?
  5. What is the lot of the impoverished if in the power of the Rasha?
  6. Why, according to Psalms 10:11, is the Rasha secure in his nefarious activity?
  7. And, in Psalms 10:12, what does the Psalmist call upon Divinity to do?
  8. Does the Psalm end with the conviction that, indeed, the Divine will act in accordance with Its affinity for justice and for the poor and the other unfortunates?
