About Psalms Of David:
Ethan David, known as Psalms Of David, writes music from a place of raw honesty and vulnerability–crafted for those who recognize their brokenness and deep need for a Savior. His songs weave personal testimony into a spiritual invitation, both pursuing and echoing the heart of the Father: patient, welcoming, and unrelenting in love. Whether referencing abuse, abandonment, or simply asking the hard questions, Ethan doesn’t shy away from pain. But he doesn’t leave listeners there. Through every lyric, he points to the hope and healing found in Jesus–someone unlike anything or anyone we’ve ever encountered. The only thing he asks is this: that the lost come home, the broken made whole, and the bound be set free. As you hear the real artist in his songs, his prayer is that you will encounter the real Jesus.
