| 1 ¶ <<To the chief
Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.>> 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. |
2 -
From
the end of the earth Seeing the Lord's
tabernacle v4 as the desired place may indicate that David was in exile.
In any case, he is discouraged.
2 - Rock ... higher than I Something for us to remember. We are helpless without the Lord's strength. |
| 4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. | Tabernacle Here means "tent" and would indicate the sanctuary which represents Christ's ministry for us. |
| 5 ¶ For thou, O God,
hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear
thy name.
6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations. .7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. |
7 - Mercy and truth The basis of true leadership. ps05703, ps08510, pr2028. |
| 8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. | - |
