Guiding Questions: Psalms 103

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What are the characteristics that evoke praising God, as set forth in Psalms 103:1-5?
  2. In Psalms 103:6 which characteristic of God is particularly emphasized?
  3. Are God’s “ways and deeds” entirely a mystery (Psalms 103:7)?
  4. In Psalms 103:10-13 how does the Psalmist describe the relationship of God to the human’s transgressions?
  5. In Psalms 103:14 what reason is given for God’s “attitude”?
  6. Do Psalms 103:15-16 indicate a belief in immortality — or does the author have something else in mind?
  7. While the opening sections of this Psalm deal with man praising the Divine, what is described as praising Divinity in Psalms 103:20-22 — but what is the final refrain?
