The Cry for Protection and the Promise of Praise (Psalm 61:1–8)

by Tommie van der Walt | Miscellaneous Seermons 2024

David, in Psalm 61, cries to God from a faint heart, asking to be led to the rock that is higher than he. As he cries to God for protection in his affliction, we see two elements:

1. his prayer for the present (vv. 1–5)
2. his prayer for the future (vv. 6–8)
