ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE FEATURES of David is his candor. At his best he is transparently honest. That means, among other things, that when there is an array of things going wrong in his life he does not collapse them into a single problem.   Nothing could be clearer from Psalm 38.

Almighty, most holy God, we souls gathered here come before you now, in great need of your mercy. Lord, we are broken in so many ways.
