Day's 5 and 6 of 30 Day Summer Psalms

For day's 5 and 6 of my summer psalm journey, David's Psalm's 21-30, I am going to pull my favorite lines then respond to the verses that speak to me the most intensely:

Psalm 21: 6
"Thou dost make me glad with the 'joy' of thy presence."
Psalm 22:1
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Psalm 22:6
"But I am a worm, and no man...
Psalm 22:14
"My heart is like wax, it is melted within my breast."
Psalm 23: 4
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me"
Psalms 25: 1,4-9, 11, 16-18
"To thee, O Lord, I lift up my soul...
Make me to know thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth and teach me, for thou art the God of my salvation;...
Be mindful of thy mercy, O Lord, and of thy steadfast love,
Remember not the sins of my youth, or my transgressions;
Good and upright is the Lord; therfore he instructs sinners in the way,
He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble His way.
For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon my guilt, for it is great.
Turn thou to me, and be gracious to me; for I am lonely and afflicted, 
Relieve the troubles of my heart, and bring me out of my distresses,
Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins."
Psalm 27: 4
"One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple."
Psalms 30:5, 11
"Weeping may tarry for the night, but 'joy' comes with the morning...
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing."

In Psalm 21:6, where is David when he exclaims the 'joy' he finds in the presence of the Lord? Is he under the stars, in the temple, in his home, or with family? I know that when I feel the joy of God's presence the most, I can be just about any place, at home, church, yoga, school, and easily in nature on a lake, a bike trail, a river, in a garden, or with family, friends, my students, but especially with my children.  Where is David when he changes his emotions in Psalm 22:1, when he feels that God has forsaken him? Is he at war, in a temple, hiding out in his home, or running from his enemies? For me, I feel forsaken that my children are gone; I'm so lonely for the life they once brought to our home.

Psalm 25 seems especially created for me, who dares to even mention the word "forsaken" in His holy presence. As David begged, I, too, plead that God "remembers not the sins of my youth, or my transgressions." He, most of all, knows of my loneliness and affliction and like David, I pray that He "Relieves the troubles of my heart and brings me out of my distresses... forgives all my sins." The night's sadness, David reminds us in Psalm 30, will turn to "'joy' in the morning... and mourning will turn to dancing." This is the promise I know comes each time I am in sorrow's stronghold; there will be a time for dancing once again - Sa Ta Na Ma - birth, life, death, rebirth.
