What is most important for interpreting scripture?

Discussion question for July 1, 2022.

We discussed Psalm 127, particularly how it seems to be divided into two parts.  How important is it to join those two parts?  What can we know about God through these verses?  What can we know about the Psalmist?  How much do you rely on commentaries or published opinions of others?  What do you do when your understanding of scripture disagrees with the interpretation of another person?  How can you encourage younger believers to dig into the Bible?
