Psa 61:5 | NETfull | STEP | For you, O God, hear my vows; you grant me the reward that belongs to your loyal followers.

Psalms 61:5

5 For you, O God, hear my vows;
you grant me the reward that belongs to your loyal followers. ^{▼▼ 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).}
