bullet"We have all met people near death and in depression and pain. At times, it may be our own experience too. It is part of human existence. Whether it will be felt as a divine visitation of disfavor or punishment is another matter."
bullet Psalm 30, Epiphany 6B, The Old Testament Readings: Weekly Comments on the Revised Common Lectionary, Howard Wallace Audrey Schindler, Morag Logan, Paul Tonson, Lorraine Parkinson, Theological Hall of the Uniting Church, Melbourne, Australia.

bullet Lectionary Commentary and Preaching Paths (Easter C3), by Dennis Bratcher, at The Christian Resource Institute.
bullet"This psalm proclaims that endings are not as final as we sometimes think they are. It does not deny the reality of the darkness. It does not deny the experience of the absence of God. And it does not deny the dismay of finding that our beliefs do not always stand up to the realities of life. But it affirms that out of that grievous experience of death can emerge a new joy, a new hope, a new future, and a new confirmation of what it is to be the people of God."
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "Singing with the Psalter," Michael Morgan, (other resources at) "Singing Our Lives," Christian Reflection, 2006.
bullet"What sets the book of Psalms apart from the rest of Scripture is the sacramental nature of its songs, their ability to mold and transform the believer."
bullet"That Every Child Who Wants Might Learn to Dance," Paula M. Cooey, Cross Currents, 1998.
bullet"Joy suggests the falseness of the alleged dilemma of self-fulfillment vs. self-sacrifice. Joy is ethically ambiguous. It may be generous, selfish, both, or ecstatic, though it tends to direct the self outward toward others in some way. Thus, the context in which joy occurs largely determines its ethical implications."
bullet "In Praise and Thanksgiving," Patrick D. Miller, Jr., Princeton Theological School. Theology Today, 1988.
bullet"In a world that assumes the status is quo, that things have to be the way they are and that we must not assume too much about improving them, the doxologies of God's people are fundamental indicators that wonders have not ceased, that possibilities not yet dreamt of will happen, and that hope is an authentic stance."
