Psalm 61

Who is your shelter?

WEEK  19                                              Psalm 61

WEDNESDAY  Reflections

David is crying out to God for help. David is also reviewing the ways God is great. He is higher. He is a shelter and a covering. God is always faithful to those who fear Him. David ends by pledging to be faithful in all he has promised God. What in this psalm brings comfort to you? 

Psa 61:1-8
(1)  To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
(2)  From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
(3)  For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
(4)  I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
(5)  For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
(6)  Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
(7)  He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
(8)  So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
