2.      Given the mockery that Christian faith sometimes face, how should we respond?

3.      What does verse 3 teach us? Do you find it encouraging? Why or why not?

4.      What is the essential nature of idolatry? What idols are still common? Which do you struggle with?

5.      Does the encouragement to trust God encourage you or challenge you?

6.      Are there any hymns or choruses that come to mind as you read this psalm?

7.      How should this influence our prayers?
