Gill's Notes on the Bible
For thou hast been a shelter for me,.... Or "refuge" y, from avenging justice; a hiding place and covert from the storms and tempests of divine wrath; a shadow and a screen from the heat of Satan's fiery darts, and the blast of his terrible temptations,
Isaiah 25:4;
[and] a strong tower from the enemy: from Satan the devouring lion, from furious persecutors, and every other enemy; see Proverbs 18:10; and this experience the psalmist had of protection from the Rock in former times made him desirous of being led to it now.
y מחסה "asylum", Tigurine version, Vatablus; "perfagium", Cocceius; "refugium", Michaelis.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For thou hast been a shelter for me - A place of refuge; a place where I have found safety. He refers here to what had occurred in former times. God had protected him when in danger, and he pleads that fact as a reason why God should now interpose and deliver him. That reason seems to be founded on two considerations:
(a) God had thus shown that he had power to deliver him; and
(b) it might be expected that God who is unchangeable, and who had interposed, would manifest the same traits of character still, and would not leave him now.
Both of these are proper grounds for prayer.
And strong tower from the enemy - See the notes at Psalms 18:2.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 61:3. Thou hast been a shelter for me — During the whole duration of the captivity God marvellously dealt with the poor Jews; so that, although they were cast down, they were not utterly forsaken.
