Guiding Questions: Psalms 24

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Who is the subject of this Psalm?
What power and authority are ascribed to Divinity; is anything excluded?
Psalms 24:2 would refer to what section of the Five Books?
What is meant by “the mountain of God” and God’s unique place?
Is it power, artistic ability, keenness of mind — or something other which qualifies one to be in God’s “presence”?
Consider an alternate translation for Psalms 24:6 (source: Dahood,”Psalms,” Volume 1, page 152): “the One of Eternity seek, oh you who search for the presence of Jacob”; what is your opinion?
In Psalms 24:7 does the “lifting” mean a literal opening or does it mean lifting the head in joy and, accordingly, is a poetic phrase?
How do Psalms 24:8-10 serve as a parallel for Psalms 24:1-2?
