Psalm 34 is one of my favorites! I truly dug into this Psalm after hearing the group Shane & Shane sing it. It is just so good. The song and the psalm. Is that redundant?
It is believed this psalm was written after David faked insanity in front of King Achish/Abimelech. This story is in 1 Samuel 21. David is on the run from Saul and he gets captured by the Philistines. They bring him to the king reminding him that this is the guy the Israelites sang about “Saul has killed his thousands and David his ten thousands”. We captured him! David had to think quick on his feet and chose to act insane. He was even drooling. Chattering away to himself…probably. I would have. The king takes one look at him and says he thinks they will be ok if they let him go. Poor guy. War had really taken its toll on him. It’s a shame.
