We think well some majority of Christian Believers do actually think that the Holy Spirit was only important around the day of Pentecost. I met one. But actually he is present in the Old Testament with several people! I'll name a few Daniel, David and Samuel all had that with them. And it's just there are plenty of times in the old testament that He was called back during the Old Testament because the person proved unworthy to dwell in. And the Holy Spirit wasn't called to fully live with Believers inside their hearts yet until Jesus' sacrifice was completed. If you ever wondered why Daniel, David and Samuel were so fearless after their first calling from God, it because what we know as the Holy Spirit today was with them back then. We have a name for Him now but they didn't back then.

I encourage you to read the same Psalms and the stories of David before then and after then.
And keep in mind what New Testament Apostle Paul writes. "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness." 2nd Timothy 3:16 is where you will find this verse.
All Scripture means even lives of the people of the Old Testament like King David can teach us something good to rely on when we think about God. David embraced and welcomed and worked with the Holy Spirit even in his most dramatic mistake as a King too. Something his predecessor King did not do.

2nd Samuel 7:12–22
"When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.'" Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation. Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said: "Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant—and this decree, Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human! "What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Sovereign Lord. For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant. "How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears."
‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭7‬:‭12‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

"as I took it away from Saul," this actually did happen the Holy Spirit did leave King Saul because he didn't put the commitment into being a good guy but today the Holy Spirit is here dwelling inside us Christian believers to make sure the Devil doesn't steer us along a super crooked path like King Saul's pride did for him.

Prayer 1 is a prayer to ask God through the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of Jesus to help your trust in him strengthen every time, Skylights.

Lord teach me to trust you like David did in the name of Jesus, amen.

Do you remember who the very trusting women of the Lord were in the New Testaments Gospel books?
Mary the Virgin Mary of course. She went ahead and said I'm honored to be the Lord's chosen Lady for His Son to bear in front of Gabriel the Angel.
Elizabeth Mary the Virgin Mary's cousin was also extremely trusting of the Lord too
These two women also had the power of the Holy Spirit with them too
