Guiding Questions: Psalms 57 - The Digital Home for Conservative Judaism

Guiding Questions: Psalms 57

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

In Psalms 57:1, the words “al tashhet” seem to echo a statement of Moses in Deuteronomy 9:26. Or, is this connection “forced”?
What is the request voiced by the Psalmist in Psalms 57:2-4?
And would Psalms 57:5-7 indicate that the plea has been answered?
Do Psalms 57:8-12 evidence further concern for future problems or, rather, a certainty that “God will protect”?
What attributes of God are described in Psalms 57:11?
