Guiding Questions: Psalms 117 - The Digital Home for Conservative Judaism

Guiding Questions: Psalms 117

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

To whom is this Psalm addressed as a mandate?
When Psalms 117:2 refers to God’s “steadfast love towards us” who is the “us” — humanity or one portion of same?
For what occasion and/or for what constituency could such a Psalm have been composed?
And, do you recognize in what tefillah (said on holidays and Rosh Hodesh) this particular portion appears?
