1Oye, oh Dios, mi clamor; A mi oración atiende.

2Desde el cabo de la tierra clamaré a ti, cuando mi corazón desmayare. Llévame a la roca que es más alta que yo,

3Porque tú has sido mi refugio, Y torre fuerte delante del enemigo.

4Yo habitaré en tu tabernáculo para siempre; Estaré seguro bajo la cubierta de tus alas.

5Porque tú, oh Dios, has oído mis votos; Me has dado la heredad de los que temen tu nombre.

6Días sobre días añadirás al rey; Sus años serán como generación y generación.

7Estará para siempre delante de Dios; Prepara misericordia y verdad para que lo conserven.

8Así cantaré tu nombre para siempre, Pagando mis votos cada día.

61:4 The poet longs for God’s presence and seeks entrance into God’s home on earth for divine protection and care. To be received into God’s sanctuary (literally tent) is the greatest good (see 15:1; 23:6; 24:3-6). The Hebrew word translated sanctuary recalls the Tabernacle and the tent that David built for the Ark (1 Chr 15:1). See also study note on John 1:14. • The shelter of your wings symbolizes God’s protection and care (see Pss 9:9; 17:8).

He praises and thanks God for his rescue. • The inheritance refers to the promise of the land (see Ps 60), the sacredness of the Temple, the joy of God’s presence (119:111), or any similar reward (16:6; 37:9, 11, 18, 22, 29, 34; 127:3).
