John Trapp on Psalms 61:2

Verſ. 2. From the end of the earth] Or, of the Land. In all places men may lift up holy hands,Sic dicit reſ pectu arae à quiexulabat longe in bello contra hoſtes. R. Sol. 1 Tim. 2.8. Job. 4.21. and ſpeed. A deſert may be a goodly Oratory.

When my heart is overwhelmed] Or, covered over, Vt fit in deliquiit & lipothimiis, as is uſual in ſwoones. See a like expreſſion, Pſal. 102. title, & Lam. 3.65. where the word rendred ſorrow of heart, ſignifieth ſuch a covering like a ſhield, ſuch a lid put over the heart, that is ſuffocated, as in the Cardica paſſio. Davids Harp was not more out of tune, than his heart ſometimes: He prayeth, and is helped.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I] i.e. Do for me that I cannot do for my ſelf; ſet me in ſafety.
