Psalm 61:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 61:1

Hear my cry, O God
Being in distress; and which was vocally expressed with great fervency and importunity;

attend unto my prayer;
which psalm was made by him, and not for him; inwrought in his heart by the Spirit of God, and put up by him with a true heart and full assurance of faith, and related to his own case in particular. Aben Ezra thinks that the former word designs public prayer, vocally and openly expressed; and that this intends prayer in the heart, or mental prayer; both the Lord hears and attends unto, and is here requested; which is marvellous grace and condescension in him.

Psalm 61:1 In-Context

1 Dem Vorsänger, mit Saitenspiel. Von David. Höre, Gott, mein Schreien, horche auf mein Gebet!
2 Vom Ende der Erde werde ich zu dir rufen, wenn mein Herz verschmachtet; du wirst mich auf einen Felsen leiten, der mir zu hoch ist.
3 Denn du bist mir eine Zuflucht gewesen, ein starker Turm, vor dem Feinde.
4 Ich werde weilen in deinem Zelte in Ewigkeit, werde Zuflucht nehmen zu dem Schutze deiner FlĂĽgel. (Sela.)
5 Denn du, Gott, hast auf meine Gelübde gehört, hast mir gegeben das Erbteil derer, die deinen Namen fürchten.
