A Psalm for the Grieving

My heart is heavy, my soul filled with grief. Yesterday, my heart was filled with gladness, today, it is suffused with sadness. Death has snatched a dearly loved one from me, and grief has gushed in like a raging sea. like an enemy, it has ambushed me, and it feels like I will never be free. My heart aches, the pain burns, please hear my plea. Come, Lord, Master of ocean, earth, and sky. You who look low even as you reign on high. God of all comfort, assuage my deep grief. My soul will again rejoice in your name. I will declare to the whole world Your fame. Because in my grief, you gave sweet relief. Bless the Lord, my soul, bless his holy name.
