David Psalmist

David: Psalmist

David
Small, singer, lion killer, Psalmist,
Son of Jesse,
Lover of sheep, harp music, Jonathon.
Who feels a heavy heart, some oppression and close to God.
Who fears no evil, the Lord, the pain of death from enemies.
Who would like to see Bathsheba in bed, Uriah dead, and guidance from on high.
Resident of Bethlehem.  
Psalmist!

Yes, he was all that you say but still ended up being declared 'a man after God's own heart'. How amazing is that? Enjoyed reading this!

Thanks and glad you liked it. A man after God's own heart indeed. His lack of perfection and his insecurities mean hope for a gal like me!
