My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.

He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?

Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.)

Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.

Psalm 62:1-10 Meaning and Commentary
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, [A Psalm] of David. Concerning "Jeduthun," See Gill on "Ps 39:1," title. Kimchi thinks this psalm was written concerning the captivity; and Jarchi twtdh le, concerning the decrees and judgments made against Israel by their enemies; and so some of their ancient expositions {d}; but it seems to have been composed by David when in distress, either through Saul and his courtiers, or by reason of the conspiracy of Absalom. Theodoret takes it to be a prophecy of the persecution of Antiochus in the times of the Maccabees.
{d} Vid. Yalkut Simeoni in loc.
