NET Notes: Psa 61:6 It is not certain if the (royal) psalmist is referring to himself in the third person in this verse, or if an exile is praying on behalf of the king.

NET Notes: Psa 61:7 Heb “loyal love and faithfulness appoint, let them protect him.”

NET Notes: Psa 61:8 Or perhaps, “and thereby fulfill.” The preposition with the infinitive construct here indicates an accompanying circumstance.
