Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 61:5

"For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name." — Psalms 61:5 (ASV)

Heritage. — As the Authorised Version reads, the heritage is length of days, one promised generally to those who fear Jehovah (Proverbs 10:27; Proverbs 19:23), and particularly to Israel (Deuteronomy 6:2) and its kings (Deuteronomy 17:19–20, which passage may have been in the psalmist’s mind). But the Septuagint and Vulgate read, “to them that fear thy name,” meaning, of course, by the heritage, Canaan.
