| a good question is better than a quick answer | ||
|
|
||
| Following the path of questions in the Book of Psalms | ||
| 1 | W | My
soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God? Psalm 42:2 |
| 2 | Th | My
tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me continually, "Where is your God?" Psalm 42:3 |
| 3 | F | Why
are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help! Psalm 42:5 |
| 4 | S | I
say to God, my rock: "Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?" Psalm 42:9 |
| 5 | X | As
with a deadly wound in my body, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me continually, "Where is your God?" Psalm 42:10 |
| 6 | M | Why
are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God. Psalm 42:11 |
| 7 | T | For thou art the God in whom I take refuge; why hast thou cast me off? |
| 8 | W | Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? Psalm 43:2 |
| 9 | Th | Why
are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God. Psalm 43:5 |
| 10 | F | would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart. Psalm 44:21 |
| 11 | S | Rouse
thyself! Why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake! Do not cast us off for ever! Psalm 44:23 |
| 12 | X | Why dost thou hide thy face? |
| 13 | M |
|
| 14 | T | Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? Psalm 50:13 |
| 15 | W | But
to the wicked God says: "What right have you to recite my statutes, or take my covenant on your lips? Psalm 50:16 |
| 16 | Th | Have
those who work evil no understanding, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God? Psalm 53:4 |
| 17 | F | Thou
hast kept count of my tossings; put thou my tears in thy bottle! Are they not in thy book? Psalm 56:8 |
| 18 | S | in God I trust without a fear. What can man do to me? Psalm 56:11 |
| 19 | X | Do
you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the sons of men uprightly? Psalm 58:1 |
| 20 | M | There
they are, bellowing with their mouths, and snarling with their lips--for "Who," they think, "will hear us?" Psalm 59:7 |
| 21 | T | Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? Psalm 60:9 |
| 22 | W | Hast
thou not rejected us, O God? Thou dost not go forth, O God, with our armies. Psalm 60:10 |
| 23 | Th | How
long will you set upon a man to shatter him, all of you, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? Psalm 62:3 |
| 24 | F | They
hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, "Who can see us? Psalm 64:5 |
| 25 | S | Who
can search out our crimes? We have thought out a cunningly conceived
plot." For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep! Psalm 64:6 |
| 26 | X | Why look you with envy, O many-peaked mountain, at the mount which God desired for his abode, yea, where the LORD will dwell for ever? Psalm 68:16 |
| 27 | M | More
in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause;
mighty are those who would destroy me, those who attack me with lies. What I did not steal must I now restore? Psalm 69:4 |
| 28 | T | and
thy righteousness, O God, reach the high heavens. Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like thee? Psalm 71:19 |
