| "The theology of
this psalm implies that God is responsive to those who call upon
God, that it is in God’s nature to deliver and save God’s people
when they are afflicted by illness or enemies, and to hear them when
they cry." |

"Lament does two things simultaneously, two things that in many ways
we have regulated as unable to coexist: anguish and hope." |

"I Am a Broken Dish," Paul Bellan-Boyer, I heard of a city called

| "The Passion, the suffering servant, the
Philippians hymn, all describe one who is an outcast. Insults,
bullying, gossip, layoffs, illness, divorce, aging, scandal,
rejection. There are so many ways to be out, not in." |
