Psalm 114-115

What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
    O Jordan, that you turn back?

Psalm 87-88

Psalm 87 and 88 are very distinct from one another. One gives a forward, hopeful look at God’s future inclusion and dwelling. The other laments over excruciating troubles that cause a feeling of not only shunning from friends but also…
