Psalm 108: Two psalms, one song

Read Psalm 108:1-13 before you meet.

In a few lines

Psalm 108 has the end of Psalm 57 (57:7-11) and most of Psalm 60 (60:5-12) in one psalm, and its own order is the surprise: it opens with a steadfast heart, its praise leads straight into a plea (108:5-6), and it speaks of being rejected only once, as a question (108:11).

The verse to carry

“For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.”

Psalm 108:4

To talk about

  1. 1. Psalm 108 opens "My heart is steadfast, God" (108:1) and praises God before it asks to be delivered (108:6). What would it look like for you to begin a prayer this week with praise, before your requests?

  2. 2. The psalm prays "Be exalted, God, above the heavens!" (108:5), and later asks, "Haven’t you rejected us, God?" (108:11). How do you hold praise and a hard question together in your own prayers?

  3. 3. "Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain. Through God, we will do valiantly" (108:12-13). Where are you leaning on help that can't carry the weight, and what would it look like to turn to God there?
