Guiding Questions: Psalms 25

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What type of acrostic characterizes the Hebrew text of Psalms 25?
  2. What is the request of the Psalmist in Psalms 25:2?
  3. According to Psalms 25:5 is “good living” solely dependent upon the individual or does it require “outside help”?
  4. Based upon Psalms 25:7 would the author appear to be a younger individual or older?
  5. Again, in Psalms 25:9 the emphasis would be upon what type of individuals?
  6. And, in Psalms 25:12-14 what are the characteristics of those who are God-fearing and what is their “reward”?
  7. Does the author specify the nature of his anguish as an affliction in Psalms 25:17-18?
  8. Does the Psalm end with an indication that the enemies/affliction/anguish/pressure have been removed — or not quite yet?
