    Reading Questions
    For next week you’re reading Psalms 48 to 55. Answer
    the following:
    • What makes the assembled kings tremble in 48?
    • According to 49, why is it pointless to worry?
    • What does God say He wouldn’t tell Israel about?
    • Psalm 51 is the text for an offertory song in
    Lutheran liturgy. This song is normally sung as
    offerings are brought forth. Why does this psalm
    make sense for that, or does it?
    • Why do you think David uses the image of a green
    olive tree in 52?
    • 53 is a verse often used in explaining original sin,
    but how does this psalm also speak of the Gospel?
    • You’re reading Leviticus too, what’s the “freewill
    offering” that David speaks of in 54?
    • God is there even when those whom we trust
    betray us according to 55. Who do you trust?
    What part of Jesus’ life might this remind you of?
    What is a hymn?
    A hymn is one of the 7 categories of the Psalms. It is
    normally what we think most of the Psalms sound like –
    it is a song of praise. In fact, the Hebrew name for the
    book of Psalms (Tehillim) literally means “Praises”.

    Most of the hymns in the Psalms are found in the latter


    parts of the book, especially in Book 5 of the Psalms (Ps.
    107-150). The last five Psalms are all psalms of praise
    or hymns.

    The classic characteristics of a hymn are basically two


    identifiable marks: a.) exuberant praise without
    negativity b.) a call to have others join the author in
    exuberant praise.

    Here are a few “hymn” Psalms: 100, 29, 24, 45, 146,
    147, 148, 149, 150.

    It seems that quite often, hymns were used to begin


    worship or as calls to worship at the temple, inviting
    people into the process of praising God.

    Please don’t throw this away. If you’re not going to use it, leave it for
    someone else to use.
