1
I find rest in God; only he can save me.
2
He is my rock and my salvation. He is my defender; I will not be defeated.
3
How long will you attack someone? Will all of you kill that person? Who is like a leaning wall, like a fence ready to fall?
4
They are planning to make that person fall. They enjoy telling lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.Selah
5
I find rest in God; only he gives me hope.
6
He is my rock and my salvation. He is my defender; I will not be defeated.
7
My honor and salvation come from God. He is my mighty rock and my protection.
8
People, trust God all the time. Tell him all your problems, because God is our protection.Selah
9
The least of people are only a breath, and even the greatest are just a lie. On the scales, they weigh nothing; together they are only a breath.
10
Do not trust in force. Stealing is of no use. Even if you gain more riches, don't put your trust in them.

Psalms 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.
