Psalms 61:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

My vows; my fervent prayers, attended with many vows and promises, as was usual, especially in cases of great danger or difficulty, Genesis 28:20 Judges 11:30,31. Thou hast allotted me my portion with and amongst them that fear and worship thee, who are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight; and upon that account I must acknowledge it to thy praise, that the lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage, Psalms 16:3,6. Thou hast granted me this singular mercy, to live in God's land, and to enjoy his presence and favour, and to worship in his tabernacle; which is the heritage that I and all that fear thee prize and desire above all things in the world.

Psalms 61:5

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
