The verses around Psalms 61:2.
1Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
Verse explanation
"From the end of the earth" is poetic exaggeration for the feeling of being far away and helpless, physically or emotionally. Asking for a rock "higher than I" is admitting the need for a refuge his own strength cannot reach.
From the Psalms 61 study in Bible in Stories.
