Questions
- vv. 31-35: Why does this psalm of Nephi end in a prayer? In our more ordinary terms, what are the things Nephi prays for?
- v. 32: Since obedience seems to be what I do rather than what the Lord does for me, what does it mean to pray to be obedient?
- v. 33: What does it mean to be encircled in the robes of the Lord’s righteousness? (Compare Isa 61:10 and Baruch 5:2. Baruch is in the Apocrypha.) What surrounded Nephi in 18?
- v. 34: Is there a significant difference between faith in God and trust in God? What does it mean to trust in the arm of flesh? When might we find ourselves doing that?
- v. 35: Compare this verse to James 1:5. What might Joseph Smith have thought as he translated this verse?
