David (Hebrew: דָּוִד, Modern David Tiberian dɔwið "beloved"; Arabic: دَاوُۥدَ Dāwud) was the second king of the united Kingdom of Israel according to the Bible. He is depicted as a righteous king, although not without fault, as well as an acclaimed warrior, musician and poet (he is traditionally credited with the authorship of many of the Psalms). The Bible portrays David as trusting God and calling on the LORD in great difficulty and danger and singing praise to the LORD when saved from his enemies.
David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—from violent men you save me. I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies."
– 2 Samuel 22:1-4(NIV)
