Psalm 61

The setting of this Psalm takes place during the rebellion of David’s son, Absalom. (2 Samuel 15-17)

In this Psalm, David acknowledges that:
God is a shelter and a strong tower.
He will trust God.
God hears his prayers.
God has given him a godly heritage.
God will prolong his life.
He will abide before God in His mercy and truth.
He will sing praises to God.
He will do the things he has promised to God.

David prepares for the next battle with this prayer. He wants God and is willing for God to lead him.
