How would you articulate the main theme of this psalm?

Read Psalm 57 and Psalm 60.  What similarities do you see between those psalms and Psalm 108?

What is David saying in 108:1-4?

Describe the heart that is steadfast.  (108:1)  What does a steadfast heart look like in your own life?

How does 108:1-4 speak to worship that is individual and private?  How does it speak to worship that is corporate, and collective?  How are both of these important to the Christian life?

According to these verses (specifically 108:4), why should we worship God?

How does 108:5-6 describe the end for which God created the world?

108:7-9 speaks to regions within the nation of Israel (Shechem, Succoth, Gilead, Manasseh, Ephraim, Judah) and to the nations that surround Israel (Moab, Edom, Philistia).  What do these verses teach us about the sovereignty of God?  How should they inform our lives, and how we walk through suffering?

Describe the posture that we see from David in 108:10-11.  How are we to reconcile this with what we hear from him elsewhere in this psalm (108:1-4, 108:5-6)?  What can we learn from these verses about prayer?

David says that “the salvation of man” is “vain”.  (108:12)  What do you think he means by this?  What application might this have for us, as Christians today?

How can Psalm 108 shape your attitude toward challenges or uncertainties this week?
