"The
sweet psalmist of Israel." -- 2 Samuel 23:1
Among all the saints whose lives are recorded in Holy Writ, David
possesses an experience of the most striking, varied, and instructive
character. In his history we meet with trials and temptations not to be
discovered, as a whole, in other saints of ancient times, and hence he is all
the more suggestive a type of our Lord. David knew the trials of all ranks and
conditions of men. Kings have their troubles, and David wore a crown: the
peasant has his cares, and David handled a shepherd's crook: the wanderer has
many hardships, and David abode in the caves of Engedi: the captain has his
difficulties, and David found the sons of Zeruiah too hard for him. The
psalmist was also tried in his friends, his counsellor Ahithophel forsook him,
"He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted up his heel against me."
His worst foes were they of his own household: his children were his greatest
affliction. The temptations of poverty and wealth, of honour and reproach, of
health and weakness, all tried their power upon him. He had temptations from
without to disturb his peace, and from within to mar his joy. David no sooner
escaped from one trial than he fell into another; no sooner emerged from one
season of despondency and alarm, than he was again brought into the lowest depths,
and all God's waves and billows rolled over him. It is probably from this cause
that David's psalms are so universally the delight of experienced Christians.
Whatever our frame of mind, whether ecstasy or depression, David has exactly
described our emotions. He was an able master of the human heart, because he
had been tutored in the best of all schools--the school of heart-felt, personal
experience. As we are instructed in the same school, as we grow matured in
grace and in years, we increasingly appreciate David's psalms, and find them to
be "green pastures." My soul, let David's experience cheer and
counsel thee this day.
