Guiding Questions: Psalms 63

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Would the text in Samuel I 22:5 and Samuel I 23:14 et seq. help to explain the reference to David “when he was in the wilderness of Judah”?
  2. Do Psalms 63:2-5 seem to reflect the emotional state of one who is troubled or grateful and reassured?
  3. And yet, in Psalms 63:8 does it appear that there is a request for help?
  4. Judging from Psalms 63:10-11 is there is a threat to the Psalmist and what does he wish for his enemies?
  5. Does Psalms 63:12, then, identify the “Psalmist” or is this an observation about an individual rather than the identification of an individual?
