Everything was being crushed out of him [David]. He sang a great deal. And matched each note with a tear. How strange, is it not, what suffering begets? …David very simply became the greatest hymn writer, and the greatest comforter of broken hearts this world shall ever know.” - Gene Edwards, A Tale of Three Kings

PSALMS FROM THE CAVE:

Psalm 57

Of David. When he had fled from Saul into the cave.
PSALMS FROM THE CAVE:

Psalm 142

Of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer.
"In faith, driven by guilt, fear, doubt, frustration, or even anger, I cry out to God. I give voice to my hurt, my complaint, all the black bitterness I hold against my enemy…At some unpredictable point in the lament, a turn is made. The self, exhausted of its emotional energy, seems to collapse into the Presence of the One who was there, seen or unseen, all along.” - Michael Card, A Sacred Sorrow
