For some time, all of Israel observed David’s demeanor and integrity. Yes, he was a man of war, but there was a sensitive, appropriate side of David that won over his enemies. The respect he ALWAYS showed to authority helped establish his kingdom and secure it. He began reaping what he had sowed.

From the Psalms, we know of the deep devotional relationship David had with God. Obviously, his consistent staple of precept, prayer and praise laid a foundation of Godliness that his people could trust and emulate.

Even now, we use the compositions of the Sweet Psalmist of Israel to unify our praise to God.
