Summary: The psalmist feels abandoned and left for dead by God. He wonders aloud if God will ever hear him. To the psalmist, it feels like he has to confront God with his injustices and that God fires back with all kinds of trouble.
Response: Wow, no hope and no escape. There are moments I feel like this (do you ever feel like the whole world is crashing down, and it's all your fault?), But I know many feel like this more often than we'd care to admit. It is fine to have this feeling, but the author doesn't stop praying and doesn't stop trying to get help. If your thoughts are telling you to end it all, that is not God and it is not right; please seek help. For the rest of us, I pray we will start and continue seeking God and His mercy, even if we feel abandoned.
