Psalm 61

I am working on a commentary on the Psalms. I have decided to compile some helpful links that I discovered during my research. It includes a mix of exegetical and sermonic links. Here is what I have for Psalm 61 (in no particular order). Feel free to mention any that you find helpful in the comments section.

The “Deuteroevangelium” in Numbers 21–24?

Kevin Chen has an interesting post here where he suggests that Numbers 21–24 should be considered the “deuteroevangelium” since it braids distinctive elements of Genesis 3:15, the "protoevangelium" and related Abrahamic Covenant texts. I am not sure I am convinced but it is an interesting proposal that I want to think on a bit more.
