Psalm 61:3

3 porque tú has sido mi refugio, mi torre de fortaleza delante del enemigo.

Psalm 61:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 61:3

For thou hast been a shelter for me
Or "refuge" ^F25, from avenging justice; a hiding place and covert from the storms and tempests of divine wrath; a shadow and a screen from the heat of Satan's fiery darts, and the blast of his terrible temptations, ( Isaiah 25:4 ) ;

[and] a strong tower from the enemy:
from Satan the devouring lion, from furious persecutors, and every other enemy; see ( Proverbs 18:10 ) ; and this experience the psalmist had of protection from the Rock in former times made him desirous of being led to it now.

Psalm 61:3 In-Context

1 Al Vencedor; sobre Neginot: Salmo de David. Oye, oh Dios, mi clamor; a mi oración atiende.

2 Desde el cabo de la tierra clamaré a ti, cuando mi corazón desmayare; a la peña más alta que me conduzcas,

3 porque tú has sido mi refugio, mi torre de fortaleza delante del enemigo.

4 Yo habitaré en tu tabernáculo para siempre; estaré seguro en el escondedero de tus alas.

5 Porque tú, oh Dios, has oído mis votos, has dado heredad a los que temen tu Nombre.
