    Ray, came across your site as I was preparing a series on these Psalms. Pilgrimage: A Journey to the Heart of God. Your insight on the triad repetition: trouble, trust, & triumph was so helpful to interpreting these psalms. Much like Walter Bruggerman;s Orientation, Disorientation and Reorientation. I use the three words: Surviving, Reviving, and Thriving. This of course is the theology of the all the Psalms, but to see it specifically in the Psalms of Ascent was genius.
