The prayer of the people of God developed in the shadow of the dwelling place of God -- the Ark of the Covenant, then the Temple -- under the guidance of their shepherds. Among them there was David, the King "after God's own heart," the shepherd who prayed for his people. His prayer was a model for the prayer of the people because it involved clinging to the divine promise and a trust filled with love for the One who is the only King and Lord.
