From 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.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 61 of Psalms. Psalm 61 is a prayer from someone far from his usual context who seeks divine protection. The rock too high to reach by himself represents a security that only God can provide. The psalmist asks to remain in God’s presence and remembers the inheritance of those who fear the Lord. The request concerning the king introduces a dimension of political and communal continuity within the personal prayer.

Höre, Gott, mein Schreien und merke auf mein Gebet!
Desde el cabo de la tierra clamaré a ti, cuando mi corazón desmayare: A la peña más alta que yo me conduzcas.
Desde los confines de la tierra clamo a ti cuando mi corazón desfallece. Guíame a una roca más alta que yo.
Du bout de la terre je crie à toi, le coeur abattu; Conduis-moi sur le rocher que je ne puis atteindre!
Io grido a te dall’estremità della terra, mentre il mio cuore spasima; Conducimi in su la rocca, che è troppo alta da salirvi da me.
Desde o fim da terra clamarei a ti, quando o meu coração estiver desmaiado; leva-me para a rocha que é mais alta do que eu.
我心裏發昏的時候, 要從地極求告你。 求你領我到那比我更高的磐石,
