Psalm of the Week: God of My Salvation/Psalm 88

Journeying the Psalms #24

A Psalm of abandonment, full of questions without any attempt at resolution, this Psalm presents a heart-rending, honest portrayal of someone in the midst of deep difficulty. Combined with the lamenting tones of the Irish tune ‘Bean Dubh a Ghleanna,’ this song holds a space for the most forsaken experiences of humanity, while continuing to retain a relationship with the God to whom it asks these questions.

Continue your reflections with the accompanying journal, which includes further questions for reflection and some invitations to prayer and practice.
