Guiding Questions: Psalms 91

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

There is an alternate translation for Psalms 91:1; “the One above dwells in mystery; in a shadow does God reside” — (i.e. it is not possible to fully understand the Divine); which translation appeals most to you?
Do Psalms 91:3-4 speak of a “judging Divinity” or, rather one who is most protective?
As to Psalms 91:5-6 are they meant to reassure or to engender a sense of insecurity?
In Psalms 91:9, what is a human to do in order to be assured God’s protection?
Is Psalms 91:13 a statement of the Psalmist or a statement by the Psalmist attributed to God and, what about Psalms 91:14-15?
Having read this Psalm, and comparing it to Deuteronomy 32, do they seem similar?
