Psalm 62:6

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 62:1-7

1-7 We are in the way both of duty and comfort, when our souls wait upon God; when we cheerfully give up ourselves, and all our affairs, to his will and wisdom; when we leave ourselves to all the ways of his providence, and patiently expect the event, with full satisfaction in his goodness. See the ground and reason of this dependence. By his grace he has supported me, and by his providence delivered me. He only can be my Rock and my salvation; creatures are nothing without him, therefore I... read more

Cheth. True Piety the Calling of the Believers. v. 57. Thou art my Portion, O Lord; I have said that I would keep Thy words. To realize at all times that God is his Portion, his Inheritance, and that for that reason he intends to observe the words of the Lord, this is the calling of the faithful, in this everyone who is a child of God fulfils his destiny. v. 58. I entreated Thy favor, literally, "I appealed with supplications to Thy face," with my whole heart, begging for a manifestation... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 62:1-12

Our only Rock and Refuge Psalms 62:1-12 This is the “Only” Psalm. It consists of three stanzas, each of which begins with that word and ends with Selah. It was probably composed during Absalom’s rebellion. Waiting, Psalms 62:1-4 They who wait for God, and God alone, cannot wait in vain. Though ringed around by men who hide their malice under specious words, the soul is not greatly moved. Their ring-fence of hate totters to its fall, but the inner wall of God’s care is steadfast. Silence,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 62:1-12

In this psalm the principle of the last is yet more emphatically expressed. It opens with the declaration: My soul waiteth only upon God, and then proceeds in three stanzas to set forth this fact. The first opens with the words we have already quoted, and is an affirmation of confidence made in the presence of enemies. Indeed, it is addressed to them, declaring the relation of defense which God bears to him, and appealing to them against their malicious onslaught. The sense of his enemies is... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 62:5-8

2). He Calls On Himself And His People To Trust Wholly In God, Who Is Their Sure Defence And Refuge (5-8). He now repeats and expands on what he has said in Psalms 62:1-2, calling on himself again to wait quietly before God alone, because his expectation is from Him. He knows that he can wait quietly because it is God Who is his Rock, his Deliverance, his High Tower, his Glory and his Refuge. But this time his aim is not only to encourage himself, but also his followers who are sharing his... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 62:1-12

LXII. Rest in God.— The Psalmist, who is closely allied in thought and style to the author of Psalms 4, exhorts to complete trust in God. He expresses his trust in Psalms 62:1 f., his rest in Psalms 62:3; in Psalms 62:4 he denounces sinners; in Psalms 62:5-2 Kings : he reverts to his original theme, which he states with greater fullness. All other trust is vain. He repeats Psalms 62:1 f. in Psalms 62:5 f., probably as a refrain, though the words may be variants of the same text. Psalms 62:1 .... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 62:1-12

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the Chief Musician.” See introduction to Psalms 57:0. “To Jeduthun.” See introduction to Psalms 39:0. “A Psalm of David.” “There are no historical statements or decisive references to known events in the life of David,” says Moll; “yet the relationships with Psalms 39:0. on the one side, and with Psalms 4:0. on the other, point to the time of his persecution by Absalom. This relation with Psalms 39:0. makes it desirable to translate the characteristic אַךְ which... read more
