+------Mercy Of The Lyre; David's Thoughts While Playing For King Saul 

And when I play, my
soul- morality stringed ethereal, my
heart melded to crossbars of
divine mercy suffusing the air. On my
fingertips strumming...is tension of a
spirit fully alive fleeing corrupt
temporality of flesh and bone, the birth
pangs of a melody that discerns
all things, the polarity of life and
death, bliss, misery. My father used
to say music was like prophecy: cherish
her and all things are possible- She can
turn a goodly peasant King forever, a
wicked King peasant (seeking relief
from Hell’s screaming) in just one song.  

------1 Samuel 16:14-23
Now the Spirit of the Lord had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him. Saul’s attendants said to him, “See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you. Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the lyre. He will play when the evil spirit from God comes on you, and you will feel better.” So Saul said to his attendants, “Find someone who plays well and bring him to me.” One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the Lord is with him.” Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.” So Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul. David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-bearers. Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Allow David to remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.” Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.
