Psalms 62:6
Compare all
4 They only consult to cast him down from his high position;
They adelight in lies;
They bless with their mouth,
But they curse inwardly. Selah 
5 My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my1 expectation is from Him. 
6 He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be1 moved. 
7 aIn God is my salvation and my glory;
The rock of my strength,
And my refuge, is in God. 
8 Trust in Him at all times, you people;
aPour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah 
9 aSurely men of low degree are1 a vapor,
Men of high degree are a lie;
If they are weighed on the scales,
They are altogether lighter than vapor. 
10 Do not trust in oppression,
Nor vainly hope in robbery;
aIf riches increase,
Do not set your heart on them.

Psalms 62:6

He only is my rock ... - See the notes at Psalms 62:2. The only difference between this verse and Psalms 62:2 is, that in this verse the word "greatly" is omitted. The psalmist declares here in the most absolute manner, that he shall not be "moved" at all. In Psalms 62:2, he said that he would not be "greatly moved;" his mind would not be much or materially disturbed. The language here indicates more entire confidence - more certain conviction - showing that the slight apprehension or fear which existed in the beginning of the psalm, had been wholly dissipated, and that his mind had become perfectly calm.
