Psalm 35: Knowing Pain AND Praising God

To help you hear the prayerfulness of the Psalms, here is a Monday Morning Psalm just for you.

Can I just say that this is the hardest Psalm, so far, for me to talk about? I mean, in each Psalm Tuesday episode, I share one thing that I learned or found to be profound. Yet, here in this Psalm, number 35, even after spending hours praying about it and pondering what to say… I was coming up blank. I was left wondering just how did this make it into a worship service, as the Psalms were originally used? I mean, yes, it’s an example of honest communication with God. And yes, it’s an example of the comfort of knowing God wants us to bring all our pain to him. And yet, these seem inadequate here. Because there is so much pain in this one. The psalmist says it's like he is bereft of a child. Hard, but not impossible. For, as the title suggests, I was led into a discovery of something quite profound. Something that speaks of the depths found in relating to and loving God. As always, let’s first hear the Psalm, then on the other side I’ll share what I’ve found.

This is an original presentation of Psalm 35, as heard in our podcast. The title comes from our podcast, where we chat about this aspect of this psalm. Here we simply hear the psalm. I hope you find it to be a blessing.
