(2)   What solutions does the Psalm hold out? What is it’s vision of all going well and being right?

(3)   According to the Psalm, how are they to go from problem to solution? What will make things good and right?

(4)   What are our problems real or imagined, felt or unfelt? How might this Psalm address any of them?
