Psalms 61

Geneva Study BibleGeneva Study Bible

Verse 2

61:2 From {a} the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is {b} higher than I.

(a) From the place where I was banished, being driven out of the city and temple by my son Absalom.

(b) To which without your help I cannot attain.

Verse 5

61:5 For thou, O God, {c} hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

(c) There is nothing that strengthens our faith more than the memory of God’s help in times past.

Verse 6

61:6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s {d} life: [and] his years as many generations.

(d) This chiefly refers to Christ, who lives eternally not only in himself but also in his members.

Verse 7

61:7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare {e} mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him.

(e) For the stability of my kingdom stands in your mercy and truth.
