Psalms 61 · Geneva Bible Notes (1599)
From (a) the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is (b) higher than I. (a) From the place where I was banished, being driven out of the city and temple by my son Absalom. (b) To which without your help I cannot attain. Psalms 61:5
For thou, O God, (c) hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name. (c) There is nothing that strengthens our faith more than the memory of God's help in times past. Psalms 61:6
Thou wilt prolong the king's (d) life: [and] his years as many generations. (d) This chiefly refers to Christ, who lives eternally not only in himself but also in his members. Psalms 61:7
He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare (e) mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him. (e) For the stability of my kingdom stands in your mercy and truth.
