- Would Psalms 40:1-3 indicate that the poet has been saved from some serious situation?
- And, as is typical of many of the Psalms, to what is the saving attributed?
- In Psalms 40:3, what might the “mirey pit” represent — is it literal or figurative?
- In Psalms 40:7, what is stressed as the main mode of “pleasing Divinity”?
- Would Psalms 40:10-11 refer to Tefillah or general praise of God to all and sundry?
- Is there a change in the message in Psalms 40:13-15 — in that the poet is (once again) faced by tribulation?
- Would Psalms 40:18 indicate that the author considers himself unworthy but hopes nevertheless?
