David is the composer of this Psalm, he wrote it when he was in exile from Jerusalem. It was most likely at the time when his traitor son Absolam led his band of rebels to pursue and hoping to assassinate him.
In his turmoil David's heart was yearning for the Sanctuary courts were he could find comfort, solace and strength in worshipping his God. This was why he penned this beautiful prayer-poem, he pleas with his heavenly Father, Psalms 61:1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 2 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. 3 For Thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
We will find bright hope as we analyse this Prayerful Psalm, which can counteract feelings of alienation and oppression. So please join us on Prayers of Hope, as we focus and praise our God who remains with us at all times and make us into His Sanctuary.
