Psalms 61:2-3

Context

61:2 From the most remote place on earth 1 

I call out to you in my despair. 2 

Lead me 3  up to an inaccessible rocky summit! 4 

61:3 Indeed, 5  you are 6  my shelter,

a strong tower that protects me from the enemy. 7 

1 tn Heb “from the end of the earth.” This may indicate (1) the psalmist is exiled in a distant land, or (2) it may be hyperbolic (the psalmist feels alienated from God’s presence, as if he were in a distant land).

2 tn Heb “while my heart faints.”

3 tn The imperfect verbal form here expresses the psalmist’s wish or prayer.

4 tn Heb “on to a rocky summit [that] is higher than I.”

5 tn Or “for.”

6 tn Or “have been.”

7 tn Heb “a strong tower from the face of an enemy.”
