given a banner
60:4 given a banner. Despite the unnamed setbacks in their efforts to claim the entire land of promise, David in faith would go forward under his banner of “truth,” believing in the promises of God’s Word. The remaining verses express confidence that God will indeed give them victories over all portions of the promised land.
Psalm 61 (title) Neginah. The term “neginah,” meaning “stringed instrument,” is essentially the singular of “neginoth” (e.g., Psalm 4). The stringed instrument was probably that of David himself.
