From Despondency to Ecstasy by Charles R. Swindoll David's struggle with despondency grew very intense, perhaps prompting him to write the song we know today as Psalm 13. We can't be certain of the issue plaguing the poet-king. We do know, however, that some of David's darkest days came before he was officially promoted to the throne of Israel.
