Psalm Ps. 61. This psalm could be considered both an individual lament and a communal lament. It asks for God’s help in times of trouble. Verses 6–7 tie royal well-being to the well-being of the whole people. Verse 8 looks forward to acts of public worship as the proper reaction to the help for which the psalm prays.
Ps. 61:1–3 As the congregation sings this, they imagine themselves in all kinds of places (the end of the earth) and circumstances (when my heart is faint) in which they feel needy and in danger. In such times, God is a reliable refuge and strong tower.
Ps. 61:4 To dwell in God’s tent is to be his welcome guest in worship (see 23:6; 27:4).
Ps. 61:6–7 If God will prolong the life of the king, and appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him (see Prov. 20:28), then God’s people may rest secure in his blessing.
