**Psalms 88:7** — *"Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me. Selah."*
The Sons of Korah did not soften this. They let it stand — raw, unresolved, with a *Selah* that asks you to pause inside the weight rather than rush past it.
Heman the Ezrahite wrote Psalm 88 without a tidy resolution. No sunrise at the end. No "but God turned it around." Just honest darkness laid before a God he still addressed as *LORD*.
That is the covenant at work — not the covenant of comfort, but the covenant of access. Even in wrath, even submerged, Heman spoke *to* God, not *away* from Him.
Scripture reminds us that the Psalms were given not to perform our faith, but to speak it truthfully. Lament is not faithlessness. It is faith refusing to go silent.
Walk with that *Selah* today — let it hold what words cannot yet carry.
