| Notice verse 30. The last phrase is, “disobedient to parents.” How is not respecting those in authority over you – your parents – an example of not clearly seeing and acknowledging God for who He is. | He gave us our parents on purpose. He knew exactly who we needed to raise us and we should treat our parents like God assigned them to us on purpose (which he did). Add Comment |

| Why do you think David begins the Psalm with what can be known about God in creation and then spend the rest of the Psalm talking about how wonderful God’s Word is? | He might have been overcome with wonder at how amazing God is. Add Comment |
| First notice the structure by following the action. One thing you should notice is that the verse breaks in the wrong place. Please note that chapter breaks and verse breaks were done by Robert Stephanus in the 16th century and he had no idea what he was doing and unfortunately they stuck. Verse 5 should begin with “In them he has set…”. If you look closely, you will notice that a person can sing the first line of the song and then the choir responds. This is repeated with both the leader and choir singing the last line together: “whose voice is not heard.” There is a middle part where the leader sings and the choir responds. Then there the final part which is a repeat of the first – leader, response, leader, response, both: “and there sin nothing hidden from its heat.” From this structure you can make out the meaning or point of this song. So what is the point of this song? | It Add Comment |

| How one starts one’s day can determine not only how that day will go but often how life will go. There are countless people who live life on autopilot, just going through the motions. What is there in this Psalm that can help you start each and every day off right even if everything is going wrong? | David writes that he wakes again because the Lord sustained him. Waking up every day with this in mind and reading the Bible can completely change the course of a life. Add Comment |

| Verse 4 is a bit odd. That seems strange. Read Ephesians 4:17-27. The word for anger here is not “be mad” but rather be in awe of God. A better word is fear, or revere. Often when we stew over something we leave God out of it. How would fearing God (trusting, turn it over to God) prevent us from sinning when we are angry at someone and it is keeping us awake? | Turning it over to God can make us less mad and change how we think about a situation. Add Comment |
| David offers at least four things a person can do rather than stew in verse 3 and 4 that will quiet your heart so you can sleep in peace. List them here and talk about how each would quiet your heart. | We can find reassurance that God set his children apart, we can have faith that God will answer us, we can stop ourselves from sinning out of anger, and we can meditate with Jesus about what we are angry about.
