What do you do with your tears? This is a psalm about weeping, about suffering, about grief.
If you were to break the 150 psalms into categories, one of the categories will will be lamentations: psalms of tears, psalms of weeping and grieving. There are many other kinds of psalms, but I’ll tell you, every commentator says there are more lamentations than any other kind. This is the biggest piece of the Psalter. Tears.
What do we learn here what to do with our tears? We’re told three things: 1) expect tears, 2) invest tears, and 3) pray your tears.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 27, 2000. Series: Psalms – The Songs of Jesus. Scripture: Psalm 39:12-13; 126:1-6.
