Berean Standard Bible

“For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.”

Psalms 61:5

Save as image

Study note

Psalms 61 is a prayer of David, likely written far from the sanctuary, asking God to lead him to a rock higher than himself. After the plea, the tone turns to assurance, and this verse gives the reason for that confidence.
