Listen up, newbies! Psalms 61 is all about God being a refuge and a shelter. The psalmist prays to God to be his refuge, to keep him safe, and to help him find strength. He also praises God for his mercy, and for always being there for him. He asks for God's protection and promises to sing his praises and tell the world about his love. He finishes by asking God to hear his cry and to always be his refuge. So, get it straight: God is our refuge, our shelter, and our strength - always! Got it?
