Psalms 61:6
4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.
Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.
7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.
8 Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
