Excerpt-David's first years at the court of Saul in Gibeah do not appear to have produced any psalms which still survive.
"The sweetest songs are those
Which tell of saddest thought."
It was natural, then, that a period full of novelty and of prosperous activity, very unlike the quiet days at Bethlehem, should rather accumulate materials for future use than be fruitful in actual production. The old life shut to behind him for ever, like some enchanted door in a hill-side, and an unexplored land lay beckoning before. The new was widening his experience, but it had to be mastered, to be assimilated by meditation before it became vocal.
