the good old days

As I read through Psalms 35-45 I am struck by the similarities between the authors of the Psalms and myself.
Take Psalm 44 as an example:

Psalm 44:1
"O God, we have heard with our ears, 
our fathers have told us,
what deeds you performed in their days,
in the days of old:" 
We both grew up hearing stories of God's faithfulness in "the days of old."
We both grew up hearing about how God saved Noah's family from the flood.  Stories of God parting the Red Sea so the Israelites could walk through on dry land.  Stories of how God made the walls of Jericho go tumbling down.   

Psalm 44:9
"But you have rejected and disgraced us . . ."
We both are disappointed at times with how God is working in the present.
It's like we both grew up listening to God's Greatest Hits, and we want him to show up for us in the same way.  We feel rejected because God hasn't come through for us like we want.

Psalm 44:26
"Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!"
We both cling to our hope in God's redemption.
At the end of the day both the Psalmist and myself know of nothing else to do other than turn to God with hope in his redemption.  We both believe in his steadfast love, and trust that he will remain steadfast to us.
