Guiding Questions: Psalms 112

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. In Psalms 112:1 the translation renders “Yarey” as “fear”. Keeping in mind the general approach of the Psalms and the remainder of this Psalm, would “recognizing or being aware of” be pertinent to the message or more so?
  2. What, then, is the lot of the one who appreciates the Divine and who observes His commandments (Psalms 112:2-4)?
  3. However, in Psalms 112:5, there is a stress on particular mitzvot; what are they?
  4. And how is this reinforced by Psalms 112:9?
  5. Why, according to Psalms 112:10, should the wicked be vexed and disturbed?
