Psalms 61:5

For you, O God, hear my vows; you grant me the reward that belongs to your loyal followers. ¹ 

Ps 16:5,6; Ps 56:12; Ps 65:1; Ps 66:19; Ps 115:13; Mal 3:16-18; Ac 10:35

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).
