Brookhaven Men’s Bible Study Discussion Questions

Dear Brothers:

Thank you for a very productive time of discussion Weds. regarding our study of Psalm 19.  We continue our study of the Book of Psalms next Weds., 7/26 with a focus on Psalm 136.  This psalm has a unique construction and is still used today by Jews as part of the Passover celebration.

Here are some questions to consider

1. What is antiphonal singing?
2. How is God “good”?
3. What is the significance of the refrain “For His mercy endures forever”?
4. Who are the “gods” mentioned in 136:2?
5. How is God the “Lord of lords” (136:3)?
6. To what “great wonders” is the psalmist referring in 136:4?
7. How does 136:10-22 provide proof of God’s faithful love for His people?
8. If God is love, how can we understand the utter death and destruction that He brought to Egypt and other nations that opposed His people?
9. What was the people’s “lowly state” or “humiliation” mentioned in 136:23?
10. What is the significance of 136:24, “Who gives food to all flesh”?
