Psalm 62
1For the music leader. According to Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1 Only in God do I find rest; my salvation comes from him.
2
Only God is my rock and my salvation— my stronghold!—I won't be shaken anymore.
3
How long will all of you attack others; how long will you tear them down as if they were leaning walls or broken-down fences?
4
The only desire of this people is to bring others down low; they delight in deception. With their mouths they bless, but inside they are cursing. Selah
5
Oh, I must find rest in God only, because my hope comes from him!
6
Only God is my rock and my salvation— my stronghold!—I will not be shaken.

Psalms 62:1-6 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.
