There are two Psalms for the price of one today, both pursuing the theme of confidence in a sound relationship with YHWH. From this place, true lament can be expressed, as Jesus does over Jerusalem.
Though evil surrounds me
My heart remains in Yahweh
And I sing to God

Steadfast love endures
Ever time for festive cheer
Steadfast love endures
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Even joyful heart
Finds a place for deep lament
For what might have been.
