Joy in the Fellowship of God
1-3, David's Thirst for God 4-8, His Manner of Blessing God 9-11, His Confidence in His Enemies' Destruction, and His Own Safety
(63:1) O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.
Psalm 61 is an ABA prayer where David seeks God's attention, expresses hope to dwell in His presence, and prays for the promised king from his lineage to fulfill God's promises.
