Now these be the last words of David/the sweet psalmist of Israel/"The spirit of the Lord spake by me/and his word was in my tongue."

He will come with harp and psaltry
Quell his troop of convict swine
Quell his mad-dog roaring rascals
Witching them with words devine----
WHERE IS DAVID,
THE NEXT KING OF ISRAEL?

David (at rest)
I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music do you?
It goes like this
the fourth, the fifth,
the minor fall, the major lift,
the baffled king composing Hallelujah

THE SEED OF DAVID
Dante Rossetti
*
For adoration, David's psalms
Life up the heart to deeds of alms;
And he, who kneels and chants,
Prevails his passions to control,
Finds meat and med'cine to the soul

Surely darkness shall hide me,

DAVID AND BATHSHEBA
Adolf Mossa
*
Let not my beauty's fire
Inflame unstaid desire,
Nor pierce any bright eye
That wand'reth lightly.
BATHSHEBA'S SONG
George Peele

For you formed my inmost being.
You knit me together in my mother's womb.
I will give thanks to you;
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
There on the willows
we hung our harps

To him who made the great lights;
The sun to rule by day;
The moon and stars to rule by night
Psalm 136

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psalm 23

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills
from whence cometh my help.
Psalm 121

Keep me as the apple of your eye.
Hide me under the shadow of your wings

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David,
king of Israel:
To know wisdom and instruction,
To discern the sayings of understanding,
To receive instruction in wise behavior,
Righteousness, justice and equity;
To give prudence to the naive,
To the youth knowledge and discretion,
A wise man will hear and increase in learning,
And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.
|
In peace I will both lie myself down and sleep.
Psalm 4
