”And it happened, as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the City of David,
that Michal, Saul´s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David whirling
and playing music;  and she despised him in her heart.”  (1 Chron. 15:29)


He on the ark of God did feast,
but Michal she did not,
she from her window in the east
a callous heart she got!

She did not see what David saw,
she had a different norm,
he worshipped with a heart of awe,
she judged the outward form!

An object lesson it might be
about our attitudes,
a legal heart in you and me
the gospel joy excludes!

For look, the ark of God portray
our blessed Jesus Christ
on whom our sins and guilt did lay
when He was sacrificed!

With David then we´ll feast with joy
though that our foes despise,
we´ll join his jubilant convoy
with nursing babes likewise!!  (Ps. 8:2)
