Lament is a predominant theme in the Psalms, and this alone shows that, rightly understood and practiced, it is a vital element of worship, and so also of true sonship in the present age. The Psalter contains numerous songs of individual lament, but also many others in which the psalmist speaks on behalf of the household of Israel. But in every instance, the nature, orientation and basic expression of lament remains the same.
