This past Sunday, our choir sang a beautiful rendition of Psalm 139, and I was truly touched by its powerful words. While some may say it is a psalm of lament or sorrow, I want to say it is a psalm of great comfort. Before I go further let me refer you to Psalm 88, which is a very clear and scary understanding of Jewish thought when it comes to death, Hades, Sheol, Hell and the afterlife, and it isn’t very pretty.
