  Shadows The shadows came when I was about 19 years old and in Naples Italy with the US Navy. I was serving with the Shore Patrol with two Italian Police officers and the officer next to me was shot in the chest. I did CPR on him and the other officer ran to see who did the shooting. After the ambulance came I followed and discovered a place where children were being raped. Suddenly I remembered being raped as a child and beat a man until I was pulled off. Sitting in the police car I went into the place of shadows. I thought I was a shadow. Even though I left that place behind the shadows still hate me and seek to harm me. But did I really leave that place? Maybe I am still there and all of this is a trick. Maybe the shadows are so strong they have come with me. For so many years the shadows have told me what I am not and I now believe it. Many others say the same words as the shadows. I hurt so much in so many ways and I am worn down. I see dead people walking around, the kitchen...

It seems to be a collection of observations on the word of God and its precepts, the usefulness and excellency of it, he had made in the course of his life; interspersed with various petitions for the grace of God, to enable him to observe it. The psalm is a very extraordinary one; partly on account of the unusual length of it, it being more than double the length of the longest psalm in the whole book; and partly on account of its curious composition.
