Two amazing things are true here -- the Psalmist's soul is clinging to the dust, and yet the Psalmist is praying for life. His soul is melting away, and yet being strengthened as well.
As Christians, we can hold these concepts together -- when the entire world is falling away, we're still claimed by God, saved by grace. Even when the outside world doesn't seem to match how we should feel, we can rejoice and be grateful that we are claimed and saved. The banner of God's joy can fly in the depths of our hearts, because the truth of God's Word never changes, which means we are always beloved, always saved, always treasured.
