Psalm 61:3-5
Expanded Bible

3 You have been my ·protection [refuge],
    like a strong tower against my enemies.

4 Let me ·live [sojourn] in your ·Holy Tent [L tent; C the sanctuary] forever.
Let me find ·safety [refuge] in the shelter of your wings [C an image of compassion, or perhaps referring to the cherubim whose wings cover the Ark of the Covenant; Ex. 25:20]. ·Selah [Interlude]

5 God, you have heard my ·promises [vows].
You have given me what belongs to those who fear ·you [L your name].
