According to מָחֲלַ֣ת לְעַנֹּ֑ות
Heman the Ezrahite
Wise man in Solomon’s time
Musician
A Wisdom Psalm (e.g.
Job, Ecclesiastes)
A Song for “wailing”
Sad Song
A song to cry to
A song to respond
An odd title since this is a song about a person in search of answers
Respond to what or who?
To God, who is silent
To suffering, when no other answer will do
Powerful Prayer?
Cycle of prayer, he’s been here before
Person is sick, asking for healing
No answer
Utter Desperation
Did God cause this?
Perhaps sign of Psalmist’s desperation, imagined reason for God’s silence
Psalm Ends in the dark
D-יְ֭הוָה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יְשׁוּעָתִ֑י
