From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalm 61:2
Berean Standard Bible · 8 verses
Psalm 61, attributed to David, is a prayer from far away, when the writer’s heart feels weak. He asks God to lead him to safe ground he cannot reach alone, remembers that God has been his refuge, and longs to stay under His protection. It also prays for the king’s long life and ends with a promise of daily praise.
