I think so, but maybe not because he does not use a word for "anger".  I believe it was godly because it was kindled in David's musing. Shimei is cursing David, and David feels sorrow and then anger. It is an involuntary reaction. This caused David to realize that he was not soberly considering the measure of his days, and so he prayed.</div> <div> ref <A HREF="psalm_39_m.htm#ps1_2" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 39 Make me know, LORD, my end">Ps 1:2; etc</A> on musing</div> <div> <B> <A NAME="v4"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <A HREF="psalm_39_m.htm#3" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 39 Make me know, LORD, my end"><B>v4</B></A> - A prayer we should all make.
