Guiding Questions: Psalms 97 - The Digital Home for Conservative Judaism

Guiding Questions: Psalms 97

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Would Psalms 97:1 affirm that God is “over all” or only “God of Israel”?
What, in Psalms 97:2, is the very foundation of “God’s throne”?
Would Psalms 97:3-5 be “literal” or are they to be taken as metaphor expressing the might of the Divine?
What does the Psalmist have to say of those who worship other forces (Psalms 97:7)?
But, who, in particular, should acknowledge the Divine (Psalms 97:8)?
And, in conclusion, how is the repeated refrain of justice related to God and those who worship the Divine?
