[Psalms 60](/study/psalms/60) [Psalms 62](/study/psalms/62) ## Commentary To verse 1 [Psalms 61:1](/kjv/psalms/61/1) « To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. » Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. **To the chief Musician upon Neginah, &c.** ] *Vincenti in melodiis Davidis* (Vatab.). It is probable that he made this psalm when, driven out of his kingdom by his son Absalom, he took up at Mahanaim beyond Jordan, [2 Samuel 17:24](/kjv/2-samuel/17/24) , and therehence prayed from the ends of the earth, or rather of the land, [Psalms 61:2](/kjv/psalms/61/2) . Howbeit R. Obadiah saith, that this psalm is *De pugna cum Aram in confinibus Israel,* concerning the battle with the Syrians in the borders of the land. See [2 Samuel 10:14](/kjv/2-samuel/10/14) , &c., and [1 Chronicles 19:16](/kjv/1-chronicles/19/16) , &c. **** Ver. 1. **Hear my cry, O God** ] Heb. my shouting, my sad outcry; for he was in great extremity, [Psalms 61:2](/kjv/psalms/61/2) , and seeks ease by prayer. This is the way,[Job 22:21](/kjv/-job/22/21) [Philippians 4:6-7](/kjv/philippians/4/6-7) , walk in it. Prayer hath *virtutem pacativam;* it doth sweetly settle the soul, and lodge a blessed security in it. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/61#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/61#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/61","name":"Psalms 61 - Study King James Bible with trapps complete commentary","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/61#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Psalms 61 with trapps complete commentary commentary. 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 h","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/61#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/61"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/61#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary","name":"trapps complete commentary"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms","name":"Psalms"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/61","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/61","name":"61"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
