Guiding Questions: Psalms 84

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

According to Psalms 84:1, then, were all of Korah’s family members destroyed along with him?
In Psalms 84:2 appears the translation “Your dwelling place” which in Hebrew would appear to be plural. Might this be a poetic practice of Middle East grammar — or does it reflect something other?
How does the reference to “my body and soul shout for joy” have a refrain in our day in one mode of “davening” which involves the entire body?
Why does the reference to the sparrow “near Your altar explain the majesty of God tothe Psalmist?
Is the Hebrew refrain in Psalms 84:5 to be encountered only in this Psalm?
Do Psalms 84:6-8 imply a pilgrimage to “God’s dwelling place “?
What, above all else, does the Psalmist hope for and find most significant in his life?
