the greatest king of the Jewish nation,
because his vision of the Almighty gave
birth to songs that have touched the
heart strings of all ages.
Among the darkness, despair and dis
aster Of the period of captivity ere was
weeping, but no song. Amid the awful
Prosecutions of the exile, which forced
the people to seek food to sustain life
and shelter for their protection, the harp
was silently hanging upon the willow
trees Of Babylon. They could not sing
the songs of Je. ,vah in foreign land
because their hearts were heavy. They
could not praise God away from Jerusa-
lem, but when God turned their faces
toward the homeland they broke forth
with song. The thrilling strains of the
psalms of David were heard along the
pilgrimage and had much to do with its
success. The psalm of deliverance. W 'ich
Is the subject of our lesson, is believed to
have been written after the return of the
exiles. Just as Cromwell led his psalm
singing puritan soldiers to victory to the
strains of Luther's battle hymn, which
inspired many triumph during the refor-
nation. SO this psalm II led the exiles, in
the period of depression following the
susl ensicn of labor on the temple, with
courage, confidence and cheer, the cause
