Psalms 61:4 — Meaning and Application

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.

For thou hast been a shelter for me, {and} a strong tower from the enemy.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. {trust: or, make my refuge}

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

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: {and} his years as many generations. {Thou...: Heb. Thou shalt add days to the days of the king} {as...: Heb. as generation and generation}
