Ps 61 2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I. "
The Psalmist is teaching that when we are saved we are gifted with eternal desires. He says that these desires are seated in the deepest recesses of our souls. The Apostle prays that our understanding may be enlighten in order for us to know the greatness of our salvation. We might think desire is emotional but it is the vision that we have when we teach our imagination to long for something that is too wonderful for us to image. We are made by God to create the forms of the objects as they are.

When God created the world, He simply spoke it into existence. So God pronounced the reality in the perfect symmetry and unity of all things. This is why the Apostle says there is no Jew or Greek, barbarian or Scythian etc. Because all things are made to work in the order of Gods design. If anything is in itself is a creation of its on value , then it introduces a form of destruction. The entire culture of free expression of Gods creatures as a true form of that freedom is contained in the pronouncements. The pronouncements are the only perfect spoken language that are revealed. We are saying that God has made man a creature that is ruled by language. Man is able to create forms by the spoken word. The pronouncements themselves contain the perfect forms of reality. This is why the apostle says that we long for something that we do not understand.
When God created all things from nothing, it was a display of His perfect law, covenants, curses etc. We say that the spoken words of the Eternal Being created by the pronouncements are the display of His perfect unity and symmetry. God has made man to rule the earth through desiring willing and acting according to the law, covenants , curses etc. Man was given the ability to overcome all opposition in the fall through the perfect word of God. Anytime man experiences tension or frustration it is because he has opposition. Opposition is the lack of ability in him to envision the true forms of all things. So we can say that the desire for salvation is the same desire to overcome all opposition. This is why the Apostle prays that the peace of God that transcends all understanding may be known. In other words self denial is experiencing opposition as the law is applied in the curse. It is suffering opposition as we push the curse down. We must be contained in the culture of the pronouncements in order to experience the mystery of the true forms of all things.
We are going from one mystery to another as we pronounce the law, covenants etc that teach us desires that come up from the depths of our souls.Our corrupt forms of desire, will and action are contained in the mysterious forms of the pronouncements.We find that line of blessing and cursing...the the mysterious forms of reality where there is no opposition. We experience unity of being. "Lead me to the rock that is higher than I."
