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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 62:1-12

This psalm is inscribed to Jeduthun, leader of a choral band in the temple. 1 Chronicles 6:41. Both this and Psalms 63:0., have been understood as composed in the wilderness, though some would refer this to the rebellion of Absalom, because Psalms 62:3-4 seem to indicate a conspiracy. Psalms 62:2 ; Psalms 62:6 . He only is my rock. Princes trusted in armies and fortresses, David only in the Lord. Therefore his confidence was like the rock on which he reposed. Psalms 62:9 . Men of low... read more
