4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.
He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after, That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, To see Yahweh's beauty, And to inquire in his temple.
Keep me as the apple of your eye; Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
> Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
Yahweh recompense your work, and a full reward be given you of Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you are come to take refuge.
They are planted in Yahweh's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.
> Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Commentary on Psalms 61 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 61
David, in this psalm, as in many others, begins with a sad heart, but concludes with an air of pleasantness-begins with prayers and tears, but ends with songs of praise. Thus the soul, by being lifted up to God, returns to the enjoyment of itself. It should seem David was driven out and banished when he penned this psalm, wether by Saul or Absalom is uncertain: some think by Absalom, because he calls himself "the king' (v. 6), but that refers to the King Messiah. David, in this psalm, resolves to persevere in his duty, encouraged thereto both by his experience an by his expectations.
So that, in singing this psalm, we may find that which is very expressive both of our faith and of our hope, of our prayers and of our praises; and some passages in this psalm are very peculiar.
To the chief musician upon Neginah. A psalm of David.
