Guiding Questions: Psalms 15

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Would it be correct to observe, from Psalms 15:1, that this Psalm deals with the definition of the “righteous individual”?
  2. What is meant by “dwelling in Your tent”?
  3. Does this Psalm refer to living “in this world” — or “elsewhere”?
  4. And, what is the answer set forth in Psalms 15:2 — the crucial aspect of “goodness” as set forth in the words “honesty,” “justice” and one who is truthful not only in words but in thought?
  5. In Psalms 15:3, there is a description of acceptable (desirable) interpersonal relationships; what are they?
  6. In sum, this Psalm would define the “dweller in God’s tent” as one who is characterized by what type of conduct — and is the emphasis on interpersonal relationships or (and) other areas?
