Psalm 62:6

Listen to Psalm 62:6

Psalm 62:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 62:6

He only [is] my rock and my salvation
(See Gill on Psalms 62:2);

[he is] my defence;
these epithets of God are repeated, to strengthen his faith and hope in him, and to encourage a patient waiting upon him;

I shall not be moved;
neither greatly, nor at all; his faith gets fresh strength and rigour, the more he considers God as his rock, salvation, defence, and refuge; (See Gill on Psalms 62:2).

Psalm 62:6 In-Context

4 Anthills plotting to bring down mountains, far gone in make-believe. You talk a good line, but every "blessing" breathes a curse.
5 God, the one and only - I'll wait as long as he says. Everything I hope for comes from him, so why not?
6 He's solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, An impregnable castle: I'm set for life.
7 My help and glory are in God
8 So trust him absolutely, people; lay your lives on the line for him. God is a safe place to be.
