Since our God comforts the downcast, we can move from turmoil to comfort and joy. 1. Afflictions outside and inside. (v.5) 2. God comforts His people. (v.6) 3. Rejoicing still more. (v.7) What does being downcast look like? Where do we turn when the cares of our hearts are many? Ps. 94:19. Who has promised to comfort us? Isaiah 49:13 How do we move from being low to rejoicing? James 1:9
