Psalms 61:5

Context

61:5 For you, O God, hear my vows;

you grant me the reward that belongs to your loyal followers. 1 

Psalms 94:14

Context

94:14 Certainly 2  the Lord does not forsake his people;

he does not abandon the nation that belongs to him. 3 

1 tn Heb “you grant the inheritance of those who fear your name.” “Inheritance” is normally used of land which is granted as an inheritance; here it refers metaphorically to the blessings granted God’s loyal followers. To “fear” God’s name means to have a healthy respect for his revealed reputation which in turn motivates one to obey God’s commands (see Ps 86:11).

2 tn Or “for.”

3 tn Or “his inheritance.”
