Psalm 61:1–8, “Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 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. 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. He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.”

The Lord had promised Israel that He would hear their cry when they called to Him in submission, no matter where they were on the earth. (Deut 30: 1-5) David reminded himself of this promise as he prayed to the Lord.  He was suffering setbacks and distress and he asked the Lord to bring him to a safe place. He longed to remain close to the Lord forever and be constantly aware of the Lord’s presence. The Lord knew that David had promised to follow the Lord so he remembered that the Lord would be his God forever. Because he knew that the Lord has impeccable integrity, David knew that he would praise the Lord throughout this lifetime and into eternity.
