Discovery BoxPsalms 61:2 
Context61:2 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
Psalms 65:8
Context65:8 Even those living in the most remote areas are awestruck by your acts; 5
you cause those living in the east and west to praise you. 6
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 Heb “and the inhabitants of the ends fear because of your signs.” God’s “signs” are the “awesome acts” (see v. 5) he performs in the earth.
6 tn Heb “the goings out of the morning and the evening you cause to shout for joy.” The phrase “goings out of the morning and evening” refers to the sunrise and sunset, that is, the east and the west.
