1-3. From the end--that is, places remote from the sanctuary (De 28:64).
61:4
4. I will abide--So I desire to do (compare Psa 23:6). trust in the covert, c.--make my refuge, in the shadow (compare Psa 17:8; 36:7).
61:5
5. the heritage--or, part in the spiritual blessings of Israel (Psa 21:2-4). vows--implies prayers.
