Akathist to Saint David, Prophet and King of Israel
Rejoice, O holy king and prophet David, thou ancestor of God and singer of His praises! The shepherd boy anointed king, slayer of Goliath, inspired psalmist whose hymns still echo in the Church, repentant sinner forgiven by God’s great mercy, and forefather in the flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ. This beautiful Akathist (translated from Russian) honors his life, his psalms, his prophetic vision of the Messiah, and his bold intercession before the throne. Perfect for reflection, prayer, or reading aloud during the Nativity season (his feast is December 26). Includes the full Kontakia & Ikoi + a moving concluding Prayer to the Holy Prophet King David.Read the complete text here:
