Life Can Be Hard
This is one of the most melancholy and depressive Psalms in the Bible, and unlike so many others, it doesn't even end with a positive, “Well at least you're God, and you'll save me” conclusion.
Perhaps this melody is a strange fit too, because it has an upbeat feel to it--for some reason it just seemed right, and I think without that, it would be nearly unbearable in its sorrow and lament.
But I know we've all been there, and we can all relate. Life is hard just as often as it's not.
