**Overview**
**** [Psalms 61:1](../../../kjv/psalms/61/1), David flees to God upon his former experience; [Psalms 61:4](../../../kjv/psalms/61/4), He vows perpetual service unto him, because of his promises.
Instead of *neginath* , many manuscripts, have *neginoth ;* and two manuscripts, supply *mizmor* , “a Psalm.” Some suppose this Psalm was composed when David was driven by Absalom’s rebellion beyond Jordan, and from the sanctuary of God.
