David’s conclusion is a powerful reminder of who is fight our battles and what we need to do: 14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! David first question is the most important. It beings the first conversation David has with himself when he is afraid. We are pushed around by a lot of fears in life. Sometimes it is a matter of life and death type fears, other times it is as simple as the fear of rejection. What fears tend to push you around? | Disappointment, disapproval Add Comment |

| Sheep are very helpless, they can eat themselves to death if not watched and if you put them on their backs they can die as they can't right themselves. Isaiah 53:6 says, "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned-everyone- to his own way." We, like sheep, would be forever lost and would easily die without a Shepherd.

| There are two references to Jesus in the Psalm 8 passage. The first in Daniel 7:13-14. The second in Hebrews 2:5-15. If the last part of verse 4 (the son of man) and following to the end of verse 7 is about Jesus, how would this lead to a greater understand of why we should say: “O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth?” | Because his name is above all and that Add Comment |

| “You have set your glory above the heavens?” Some translate that a bit like this: “You have set your glory in the heavens above.” Others think this means that God is greater and beyond the heavens (universe and everything in it).

| How does this relate to Jesus’ confrontation with the chief priests and the scribes mentioned in Matthew 21? | People sinning his foes Add Comment |
| Now some Interpretation questions. “Oh LORD our Lord.” These are not the same words. The LORD in all caps is YHWH (Yahweh) it is the Eternal Creator LORD of the Universe. Lord is Adonai which means ruler in the sense of king or governor. Why does David refer to the Eternal God of the Universe as, “our Lord” or our king? | It 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? | To give background 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? | To praise the Lord 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? | We would think of the Lord first and offer up are hurt 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. | Ok Add Comment |
