Assurance of God’s Eternal Protection

To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been a shelter for me,
aA strong tower from the enemy. 
4 I will abide in Your1 tabernacle forever;
aI will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah 
5 For You, O God, have heard my vows;
You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.

Psalms 61:1-3

Neginah—or, Neginoth (see on Psalms 4:1, title). Separated from his usual spiritual privileges, perhaps by Absalom's rebellion, the Psalmist prays for divine aid, and, in view of past mercies, with great confidence of being heard. (Psalms 61:1-8)

From the end—that is, places remote from the sanctuary (Deuteronomy 28:64).
