Psalms 61:1
Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
2 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.
3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
