My Psalm

I had a belated birthday wish come my way today and wrapped up in the sentiment was a little gem.

The gift-giver told me that Psalm 30 was 'my Psalm' and it made me smile. Not that we could ever really own a part of the Bible but I was intrigued, so I turned up and had a read. It's packed with meaning and not the easiest of the Psalms to interpret but I have decided that I'll commit the Psalm to some serious exegesis and find out what else God might say.

In the meantime, here's what I'm taking away from it:

Sing to the Lord, you saints of his;

praise his holy name.

For his anger lasts only a moment,

but his favour lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,

but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:4-5

Just out of interest - what's your Psalm and what does it say to you today?... if you're further down the journey than me in terms of years, don't be shy - there are 150 chapters in Psalms!!
