Psalms 61

David cries out to Elohim from the ends of the earth when his heart is overwhelmed, pleading to be led to the rock higher than he and to dwell forever in His tent under the shelter of His wings.[1][2][3] He recalls Elohim's past refuge, vows, and inheritance for those fearing His name, prays for the king's prolonged life enthroned forever under steadfast love and truth, and commits to perpetual praise and vow fulfillment.[1][3]
