November 4, 2012 – Psalms 86 – 87

All along, the psalms where David pleads to the Lord for help, you always picture him running from Saul.  We have just recently read that he also left Jerusalem in tears running from his own son.  When I read this Psalm, that is when I pictured him writing it.   If he didn’t write it during this exile, he surely would remember his own psalm and pray it while he was walking up the Mount of Olives in tears.
