³⁵⁵Or, a rock that shall be too high for me.

61: 3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.
61: 4 I will dwell in thy ³⁵⁶tent for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. [Selah
³⁵⁶Or, tabernacle

61: 5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast ³⁵⁷given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
³⁵⁷Or, given a heritage unto those that fear thy name.

61: 6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life; His years shall be as many generations.
61: 7 He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
61: 8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows.
