Psalm 61:5

Bible in Basic English 1965

For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

See the chapter Copy

I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.

He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.

Make your way clear to me, O Lord; I will go on my way in your faith: let my heart be glad in the fear of your name.

But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.

But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. A Song. It is right for you, O God, to have praise in Zion: to you let the offering be made.

Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,

Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.
