Guiding Questions: Psalms 101 - The Digital Home for Conservative Judaism

Guiding Questions: Psalms 101

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

What concept of God would the author of this Psalm have in mind in order to sing of “justice and faithfulness”?
In Psalms 101:3, what is it that is specifically rejected as antithetical to the Psalmist’s view of living?
In Psalms 101:4-6 who are those whom he emulates and those whom he studiously avoids?
Is Psalms 101:8 to be taken literally — even if one were referring to an autocratic ruler, or is this a poetic refrain (“would that I could, etc.”)?
