Trust in God Alone

For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. A Davidic psalm.

1 I am at rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,[a] my stronghold; I will never be shaken.[b]
3 How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you attack as if he were a leaning wall or a tottering stone fence?
4 They only plan to bring him down from his high position. They take pleasure in lying; they bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly. Selah
5 Rest in God alone, my soul, for my hope comes from Him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and glory depend on God; my strong rock, my refuge, is in God.

Psalm 62:1-7 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.
