David Held Bound in Gath Trusts God

Prompt

Psalm 56 (a Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath): "What time I am afraid, I will trust in you... You tell my wanderings: put you my tears into your bottle: are they not in your book?... I will not be afraid what man can do to me." Held under guard in a bare stone room in the Philistine city of Gath, David sits on a low bench with his wrists bound by a rope, tears running down his cheeks, yet his face is turned up toward a high window with a look of quiet trust. He is large and central. A small clay bottle sits on the floor beside him. In the open doorway behind him stands a Philistine guard in bronze armour and a tall feathered headdress, holding a spear. A bright beam of afternoon sunlight falls from the window across David's face. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
