Psalm 32

In his book on Biblical genres, Leland Ryken the various structures Biblical poetry typically takes including narrative structure, expository structure, and descriptive structure. Psalm 32 would like fall into what he labels psychological structure, where the poetry follows “the very flow of a speaker’s consciousness and jump[s] abruptly from one subject to another,” and where “the point of unity is that it is all happening in the mind and consciousness of the speaker” (p. 209). When we engage the poetry, when it works, we too are drawn more or less into the same consciousness. Perhaps this does not happen every time we read a psalm, like 32, but hopefully more often than not it does.

Psalm 27: Psalm of David

The psalm has major themes

  1. Reliance on the Lord (verses Psalm 27: 1-3) “Hope” in the Lord (Psalm 27: 4-6)
  2. Prayer for mercy, and guidance (verses Psalm 27: 7-12)
  3. Exhortation to be patient (verses Psalm 27: 13-14)

Theme 1- Reliance on the Lord.

What jumps out at you regarding the language used in verses Psalm 27: 1-3?

Psalm 8 Reaching for the Moon

Psalm 8 was the first Biblical text to reach the moon.  It went up on Apollo 11 on a disc that had messages from seventy-three countries.  The Vatican submitted a text and included Psalm 8.  If you could have made the decision of a part of the Bible to send up, which would you have chosen?
