Psalm 26

It only took a minutes to read this psalm. I often wonder what circumstances surrounded David when he wrote some of these psalms. I picture him facing some situation; maybe in terror. But then after a few minutes he starts humming a tune. In the middle of a battle I can see David humming. Not always a happy song, but a song none the less. A new soldier under his command might look at their general with a sense of astonishment, but those who have traveled under David know what is happening: David has turned the situation of to the God of Israel, and the victory is now asured. I don't know if those were the circumstances when he first sang this song, but it must have been something along those lines. David expressed his faith and surrended to God through his songs. It was just one way in which he sought God's heart.
