Main theme: Maturity
Background to highlight
A song of Ascent
David as author
When it was written
Why two different words for “Proud” and “Haughty” in hebrew in verse 1a?
Maturity knows ones limits (verse 1b)
Content in light of exile?
(vs 2)
hope means “to wait - to look forward”
The call of the Psalmist - for Israel to put their hope in the Lord
Does the weaning mean that the psalmist no longer demands of God, but is not willing to wait?
Could it be a change of priority from self to God (a baby demands milk when it is hungry and the mother bends to it.
A weaned child waits until the mother is ready)?
The psalmists description of self is also a challenge to the reader to emulate.
