David, the warrior and king of Israel, was also a poet and the author of most of the book of Psalms. Through his psalms, we see the emotional turmoil and hardships David walked through. On the other hand, many psalms are praise for God's goodness and power, and even the ones that describe suffering, they conclude with the truths about God and reality. God is good and sovereign. He never forsakes his people, and He is their salvation. The wicked will perish, and the righteous shall one day be rewarded. A Man's Shield and Fortress is a modern exploration of emotions and human experience, that points back to the truths of God's character.
