“David and Goliath Analysis” In the story David and Goliath there is a great lesson to be learned. The story shows that you should never underestimate your opponent and be prepared for anything.

David was a young shepherd boy who watched over the sheep while feeding and keeping them safe from the lions and bears. While watching the sheep

was made, which was before David was anointed king over all of Israel. David is showing his gratitude for the salvation and the elevation received through God's protection and showing his devotion to the Lord through this Psalm. In it he makes the request to be permitted to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life. He expresses how much God means to him by worshiping Him with all his heart and soul (Makrakis, 161). It is a prayer of Praise from David that expresses his confidence

which are laments and hymns. David is know to have written 73 psalms, Asaph wrote 12, the sons of Korah wrote 11, Solomon wrote 2, Moses wrote 1 and 50 are anonymous . Although 50 were anonymous, David was certainly the author of the majority of the Psalms.
