Psalm 7

Shiggaion. It is a term that translates "to reel about through drink" meaning emotion that rivals drunkenness. Feeling can be so powerful that it becomes disorienting, our expressions exaggerated, loud, disturbing. This is also found as a description of a prayer in Habakkuk chapter 3.

At our church, we are trying to stop using the term "contemporary" because the more we pour through the Psalms we realize that our style of worship is ancient! The ancients worshipped God with deep, deep feeling. They were expressive, often celebrative, jubilant and yes, if in crisis, shiggaion.

Let your heart be loud toward Him! In both celebration and sorrow, feel!
