Psalm 61

It only took a minute to read this psalm of David, the king. There must have been a number of times when David wanted somebody of higher authority with whom he could discuss judgements. But he had faith that God would lead him in righteousness during his reign. So he opened the door for God to judge his kingdom. David granted the Almighty a permenant audience in his throne room. He not only asked God to bring down judgement on those who sought David's undoing, he asked God to provide the wisdom any ruler would need to lead a people. That was even more important as a leader of the people of faith.
