David's cry to God in Psalm 61 is, "From the most remote place on earth I call out to you in my despair." I have been to a few remote places. None as remote as David was likely to have experienced as a shepherd, as a leader fighting battles, or as a fugitive fleeing from Saul. Yet I don't think David was referring primarily to a physical location. His despair is what causes me to think this was as much a struggle of the soul as it was a struggle against physical threats.
