Plea of David

David was an artist - before you and me
A Jewish psalmist - famous for Ps. 23
Various prayers had been sung, by Moses
In particular, psalm 90: before Time itself
David's God had been our Provider
Showing us faithfulness, generation by generation


Prove me, said David, but with Mercy
LORD, I sin against You when I sin at all
Ever pleaded thus: All sin is rebellion 
Against father-creator? He takes sin personally

NOTES: Psalm 51: 11- "Do not cast me from your Presence or take your Holy Spirit from me," cried David. Wash me, and I'll be whiter than snow!

DAVID was restored by God, now called 'a man after God's own heart,' and David became Israel's most beloved king. 'Beloved' is the meaning of David's name, too. Shalom, shalom. Ps.51 is changing me, hallelujah

to love and admire poetry such as this, is one thing. But to learn from one's teachings is awesome.

In John 4, Jesus moves to thirsting no more, if we drink from His water-well. From 3:16 to 4:39, from proud Nicodemus to a shamed "loose" woman who became THE FIRST EVANGELIST of Jesus in Samaria. Harry, following Jesus, gives living water, & I promised even JUST once a month from your time feeds my poetry Muse. ThanX. Shalom in Him

ThanX enirmoysly for reading & responding Sis. Psalm 23 made me love the Shepherd metaphor, but studying psalm 51 made me a serious, more complete Christian PTL. Shalom shalom
