Study
113 From the Book of Psalms is: Psalms 140 and 141
1-
In Ps. 140 note carefully the psalmist’s description of his
enemies: their character, their methods, their purpose. In these circumstances
of intense danger, what does the psalmist do, what does he pray for, and how is
his faith sustained?
2-
Ps. 141 deals with some of the more insidious temptations which
threaten to involve God’s servant in evil. Note in detail what they are. Note also the kinds of help for which he
prays. How does the influence of other people work here?
3-
Both psalms mention the far-reaching significance of speech.
Study how the things men say can do evil. How can greater control be gained
over the tongue?
