    “It is better to go to the house of mourningthan to go to the house of feasting,for this is the end of all mankind,and the living will lay it to heart.Sorrow is better than laughter,for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.”Ps 77 – “I cry aloud to God,aloud to God, and he will hear me.In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;my soul refuses to be comforted.When I remember God, I moan;when I meditate, my spirit faints. SelahYou hold my eyelids open;I am so troubled that I cannot speak.I consider the days of old,the years long ago.I said, “Let me remember my song in the night;let me meditate in my heart.”Then my spirit made a diligent search:“Will the Lord spurn forever,and never again be favorable?Has his steadfast love forever ceased?Are his promises at an end for all time?Has God forgotten to be gracious?Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” SelahThen I said, “I will appeal to this,to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”I will remember the deeds of the LORD;yes, I will remember your wonders of old.I will ponder all your work,and meditate on your mighty deeds.”
