Psalms 62:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 62:2

A Calm Resolve to Wait for the Salvation of God

To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1 Truly ^amy soul silently waits for God;
From Him comes my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my¹ defense;
I shall not be greatly ^amoved.

3 How long will you attack a man?
You shall be slain, all of you,
^aLike a leaning wall and a tottering fence.

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.

11 God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God.

12 Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;
For ^aYou render to each one according to his work.
