Q3. (Psalm 139). In what way does the wonder of creation in the psalm seem to affect the psalmist? In his concluding prayer in verses 23-24, what does he ask God to do? I think he is struck with just how intimately God is acquianted with him. He mentions the smallest details-God didn't skip a thing. He is marveling at the intricacies of his own being- things he doesn't quite understand himself. He ends by asking God to reveal to him areas where he is not pleasing to Him.

Q2. (Psalm 19) Verses 1 to 6 seem very different from verses 7 to 13, but there is a common thread that relates the first part to the second part. What is it? In what way does the psalmist seem to bask in God's Word? Have you ever felt that way? How does the psalmist's wonder in creation seem to affect him in this psalm? In the classic prayer of verse 14, what is David asking God to do? I think both His creation and His word speak to us. V1-6 show us how God's creation speaks to us to declare his glory and greatness and vs. 7-11 show us how God's word speaks to us to declare his wisdom. The psalmist revels in the word of god. He can't say enough about its benefits which he obviously reaps; they refresh, give wisdom, bring joy, open his eyes, etc... His wonder in creation has caused him to worship God by proclaiming His greatness. He seems very excited about what he is saying-almost as if he is shouting. He ends by asking God to accept his worship offering. I'm not sure but i think he might be referring to the declaration he just made in the previous verses- asking that those words he just proclaimed (his worship offering) be accepted by God.
