Psalms 61:4

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.

Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

6 Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
