Lent is a time in the church year when we look inwardly at our own betrayals, small or large, our own missteps or wrongdoings, our own culpability and responsibility in the dynamics of the structures of the world we live in. This can leave us feeling uncomfortable and exposed. It’s hard to admit and acknowledge where we ourselves have gone wrong, where we ourselves need to seek forgiveness ~ from others, from God, or possibly from ourselves. In the words of Psalm 130, which meets us in the depths, we hear the reminder that with God, forgiveness can be found. Because we know this, because we trust this, we can have the courage it takes to confess our own sins, knowing that this is the first step toward making things right. And in this song, we hear the words of the next Psalm (131) woven in ~ the quiet of our souls at rest in the arms of our loving and forgiving God, offering solace and strength as we reflect on the part we can play in making the world a better place.

This Psalm is known for its messages about a clean heart, forgiveness, and a renewed spirit, and is often used during Lent. Set here with the Irish traditional tune Logan’s Lament, this paraphrase focuses on the imagery of a parent kindly and gently washing away the layers that “hide” us, or that cover up the God-given beauty each one of us possesses, thereby allowing us to be restored to the joy that God intends.

As we come a little closer to the part of Lent in which we follow Jesus to the cross, we remember the loneliness of betrayal and the weariness of his suffering. With this season of the church year in mind, perhaps we hear Psalm 102 a little differently. This is a Psalm written from the experience of someone whose life is cut short before its time. The loneliness and weariness of that particular suffering is evident in the heartrending words of that Psalm. And in this arrangement, we hear echoes of the haunting Irish lyrics, “Táim Cortha ó Bheith im'Aonar i Mo Luí - I am weary from being/or lying alone,” giving voice to that weariness and suffering. So as we listen today, we name our own weariness and suffering before a God who knows, who offers strength and solace, and who in the end will never leave us to face our trials alone.

The lyrical air ‘Dawning of the Day’ (Fáinne Geal an Lae) conveys this Psalm’s message of courage and hope. Through the imagery presented in this Psalm, we see mountains falling into the sea, and the world in upheaval ~ yet, we are also presented with the assuring image of a river that brings joy, and the message that we might be still and know that God is the ultimate ruler over all.

The Psalms help us express a wide range of emotions, but one form of expression they are well known for is Lament. Lament is a cry out against injustice, it’s a complaint against the way things are, it’s an expression of deep sadness or anger. Lament is all that ~ but that’s not all it is. The Lament form of prayer found in the Psalms follows a template that holds all those things in their raw, bare honesty, in the light of hope. Psalm 13, “How Long,” is a perfect example of this. A beloved professor of mine wrote, “Lament is faith’s alternative to despair” (see citation below). So during Lent, we make space for Lament ~ for those raw, bare, honest expressions that could lead us to utter despair ~ but in keeping with this ancient prayer tradition, we hold all that before a loving and listening God as we look for the light of hope and trust and faith to guide our way.
You can find lyrics, scores/books, mp3s, CDs for How Long

This psalm of longing is set to the relatively well-known traditional melody, ‘Down by the Salley Gardens.’ Its iconic imagery of the deer panting or longing for streams of water, as our souls thirst for God, leads us into this depiction of someone whose soul is “cast down” and needing to be reminded of something to hope in.

This may not be your typical Lenten Psalm, but at a time when the world is springing to life and the days are becoming longer (in the hemisphere I live in, anyway), this week we’ll be hearing Psalm 19. We might think of Lent as a time for more sombre reflections - and while it is important to do that, and we will be allowing space for that in this series - Lent can also be a time to find inspiration in the world around us, to see the beauty that is in our midst, to increase our awareness, to use our senses as we tune in to our surroundings, and to tend to our wellbeing in this way.
This week was St. Patrick’s Day, and the language of nature filled so many of the prayers of his time because of the early Celtic Christians’ close relationship with the cycles of life and the seasons of the year. In the Celtic tradition, there was a teaching that there are two books through which we learn about God: scripture and creation. Today, we hear the words of Psalm 19, which tells of the heavens declaring the works of God, and skies proclaiming God’s glory.
As you listen, consider any moments when the world around you showed you something of who God is. And may we be reminded that amid the brokenness of the world, we can also see the beauty all around.

This prayer for strength, courage, and refuge during a time of distress is combined here with the Irish traditional song Spancilhill. The Psalm resolves by transitioning into a testament to God’s help in the past, and an encouragement to those in distress as it offers the words “May courage fill your hearts.”

During Lent, we create a space to listen to our longings. Many of us heard scripture passages this last Sunday about wandering in the wilderness this past Sunday, and in today’s Psalm we hear about our souls longing for God like a dry land. We often ignore our longings, push past them, resist them. And we might even think that Lent is the time to do just that - to fast from things that are unhealthy for us, or to refrain from things we love maybe a little too much. But if we go further under the surface, we hear our deeper longings: our longing for love. Acceptance. Belonging. Forgiveness. Hope. Healing. Comfort. Strength. So today as you listen to Psalm 63, give yourself that space to listen for that longing deep within, that longing that in the end, only God can truly satisfy.

It’s Ash Wednesday today, the day marking the beginning of Lent when we embark on a more reflective time. It’s a time when we intentionally pare down the clutter of our lives and go deeper. Deeper to listen for our longings and laments. Deeper as we come to terms with our own mortality and brokenness.
And that’s where Psalm 90 meets us today—on Ash Wednesday—in our frailty and our humanity.

The air ‘Down in Yon Banke’ is originally a wordless Scottish country dance song, and in this rendition becomes a prayer for God’s eternal presence, especially in times of turmoil and fear. The Psalm speaks of enemies stumbling and falling in the midst of raging war, and expresses that longing to behold God’s beauty and to see God’s face.

Today’s guest is Mihee Kim-Kort, a Presbyterian minister, speaker, writer, and as she calls herself “slinger of hopeful stories about faith and church.”
Mihee has been a public figure for some time now - her writing and commentary can be found in the New York Times, TIME Magazine, BBC World Service, USA Today, Huffington Post, Christian Century, On Being, and more (see her bio for the full list). In 2021 she was named one of the “21 Faith Leaders to watch.” By the Center for American Progress. She is co-pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Annapolis, Maryland and a doctoral candidate in Religious Studies at Indiana University.
In addition to all that impressiveness, Mihee is also a friend of mine, a colleague in ministry, someone who’s been a part of my life for a few decades. And although we don’t talk enough, when we do talk, it’s rich, it’s fun, and while we don’t shy away from going deep, we can’t resist bursting into giggles along the way.
Mihee and I had this conversation… I won’t say how long ago. We had both just gotten over Covid. I had to exit the conversation for 5 minutes with a coughing attack. Kids and dogs continually interrupted us. (Thank goodness for editing!) Yet somehow, in the course of this conversation, we recognize the importance of the Psalms as a companion in times of sorrow and joy, a container for what we find difficult to hold, and a template for the fullest possible expression of what it means to be human – as we process our grief and as we move into resilience.
In particular, I wanted to ask Mihee about a New York Times article she wrote in the aftermath of the Atlanta spa shootings in March 2021, in which 8 people were killed, 6 of whom were Asian women. In response to that terrible event, Mihee wrote an article that asks hard questions, that’s courageous and prophetic. I always wondered how she did that. It turns out that reading the Psalms was part of her story.

It’s been a while since I posted a longform podcast! If you haven’t heard the catalog of longer podcasts on Psalms and resilience, they are worth a listen.
I’ve been lucky enough to have incredible conversations with a number of insightful friends and wise teachers, including Barbara Brown Taylor, Pádraig Ó Tuama, Munther Isaac, and Avivah Zornberg. These conversations have enriched my understanding of the Psalms, and how they lift our spirits especially in difficult times, and how they offer healing and hope.

These ancient words of lament, combined with a haunting medieval traditional Irish melody, express the human longing to see God’s face in times of sorrow. The original tune ‘The Lament of the Three Marys/Coaineadh na dTrí Muire’ depicts the three Marys’ cries of sorrow at the tomb of Jesus - a moving complement to this prayer expressing sorrow and abandonment, and the yearning for signs of hope.

A Psalm of praise to the Creator of the wonders of nature, this Psalm also contains a call to action - that in our status “underneath the angels,” we need to take responsibility for caring for creation. Set to the Irish tune ‘Far, Far Beyond the Mountain,’ and through the slightly ominous tones of the arrangement, we hear anew the sobering reminder to show respect and dignity to the world we live in.

The very first Psalm, set to the tune ‘Bán Chnoic Éirann Ó,’ speaks of following the “law” of God – and so we remember the greatest commandment: to love God, neighbor and self. When we grow in connection to this love, we can flourish and thrive like trees planted by streams of water. In times of weariness and anxiety, grief and loss, anger at injustice, longing for peace, we can plant ourselves in what is life-giving, with what allows us to experience and express love, with what taps us into the wellspring of true delight.
