The psalms are amazing. But add in U2 singing one? Wow.
The psalm posits that sometimes we're gonna be stuck a bit in our muck and mire, so be persistent. God will hear- and I love the wording used by U2, that He "inclined to hear my cry"- and He will set our feet on a rock. I also love when an Old Testament passage so clearly points us to Jesus- specifically when Christ tells us of building on a solid rock foundation, and that He is the rock.
But the wrap up of the opening? That many will see and know? That gives me chills. God's rescue of us is the catalyst for others coming to know Him. The rest of the psalm is about how God wants us, not our sacrifice or offerings. They are, in themselves, just things. They can be given without worship. But if our hearts are with God, even the small things are worshipful.
And it all starts with waiting patiently for the Lord.
