Stay with the Psalm as uncomfortable as it is. Remorse isn’t pretty but it’s plentiful in today’s readings! David and Saul from their regret at trying to kill each other and what amounts to a passive food fight over the Lord’s Supper in Corinth! Lord have mercy!

My pain stays with me
I stumble through confusion
This is confession
*****************************************

When king hides from king
They perhaps find each other –
Shared remorse unites.
*****************************************

The meal that unites
Can be rendered asunder
Intention counts!
