In this episode, David provides us with a beautiful example of how to pray. Granted, he doesn’t say, “This is how you should pray.” But he does offer us an example of simple, pure, and honest communication with God. It starts by acknowledging who God is and who he, David, is and is not. He then asks for God to stay close by. Because, otherwise, David will become like the dead, like wicked ones. And then… and then, he thanks God for staying close. And then he wraps us this prayer by asking God to look after his neighbors. All this makes for a beautiful prayer indeed and, possibly… an echo of The Lord’s Prayer in Matthew. Hang on.
My name is Charles, Charles Yerkes and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This is a podcast for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. Psalm Tuesday is series in which, each Tuesday, we will listen to a Psalm being read in a manner that honors their original use as part of a worship service. In this episode, we are reading Psalm 28.
