Psalm 62:1-12
(The Great Bible)
To the chaunter, For Ieduthun: a psalme of Dauid. My soule truly wayteth styll vpon God, for of him cometh my saluacion.
2 He verely is my strength, and my saluacion: He is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.
3 How longe will ye ymagin mischefe against euery man? ye shalbe slayne all the sorte of you: yee, as a tottring wall shall ye be, and lyke a broken hedge.
4 Their deuyce is onely how to put him out whom God wyll exalte. their delyte is in lyes: they geue good wordes wt their mouth, but curse wt their hert. Sela.
5 Neuertheles, my soule wayte thou styll vpon God, for my hope is in hym.
6 He truly is my strength, and my saluacion: he is my defence: so that I shall not fall.
7 In God is my health & my glory, the rocke of my might, & in God is my trust.
8 O put your trust in him allwaye (ye people) powre out youre hertes before him, for God is our hope. Sel
9 As for the children of men, they are but vayne, the children of men are disceatful: vpon the weyghtes they are all together lighter than vanite it self.
10 O trust not in wrong and robbery, geue not your selues vnto vanyte: yf riches encrease, set not your hert vpon them.
11 God spake once and twyse: I haue also herde the same: that power belongeth vnto God.
12 And that thou Lorde art mercyfull: for thou rewardest euery man accordynge to hys worcke.

translation:

To the chanter/choirmaster, For Jeduthun: a psalm of Dauid. My soul truly waited still upon God, for of him cometh my salvation.
2 He verily is my strength, and my salvation: He is my defense, so that I shall not greatly fall.
3 How longe will ye imagine mischief against every man? ye shall be slain all the sort of you: yes, as a tottering wall shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.
4 Their device is only how to put him out whom God will exalt, their delight is in lies: they give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart. Sela.
5 Nevertheless, my soul waits thou still upon God, for my hope is in him.
6 He truly is my strength, and my salvation: he is my defense: so that I shall not fall.
7 In God is my health & my glory, the rock of my might, & in God is my trust.
8 O put your trust in him always (ye people) pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. Sel
9 As for the children of men, they are but vain, the children of men are deceitful: upon the weights they are all together lighter than vanity itself.
10 O trust not in wrong and robbery, give not yourselves unto vanity: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 God spoke once and twice: I have also heard the same: that power belongs unto God.
12 And that thou Lorde art merciful: for thou rewards every man according to his works.

summary:

Verses 1–2 — Resting in God Alone
David begins by sitting quietly before God, certain that rescue comes from Him alone. God is pictured as an immovable rock, a towering fortress, the one place where trembling hearts find steady ground.

Verses 3–4 — The Threat of Unstable Enemies
Hostile people plot to topple the king like a leaning wall. Their smiles conceal curses. Their words sound polite, but their intent is ruin.

Verses 5–8 — Soul Rehearses Confidence
David tells his own soul to wait again in silence. Repeating the earlier refrain, he strengthens his heart and then invites all people to pour out their worries to the same refuge.

Verses 9–10 — Human Frailty and False Trusts
Whether common or powerful, people are lighter than air on God’s scales. Violence, theft, and wealth feel solid, yet prove hollow. Riches may grow, but hearts must stay free of attachment.

Verses 11–12 — God’s Power and Loyal Love
One unchanging message rings out: power belongs to God and steadfast love belongs to Him. He alone can pay everyone back with perfect fairness.

Authorship and Setting
Psalm 62 is “For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.” Jeduthun was a Levitical choir leader (1 Chronicles 16:41–42; 25:1). Many scholars place the psalm during David’s flight from Absalom (2 Samuel 15–18). The language of threatened collapse (v. 3) fits a king whose throne seemed about to fall. Whatever the exact moment, the tone is calm confidence while enemies swirl.

The Repeated Word “Only”

Six times the Hebrew particle ’ak (“only” or “truly”) drives the point:
• v. 1 “For God only my soul waits”
• v. 2 “He only is my rock”
• v. 4 “They only plan to cast him down”
• v. 5 “For God only, O my soul”
• v. 6 “He only is my rock”
• v. 9 “Only vapor” (implied)
The chorus of “only” sweeps away every rival trust.

Practical Takeaways
1. Start your day in stillness, reminding your soul who actually delivers.
2. Recognize “climbing” people and shifting politics as leaning walls—do not lean back on them.
3. Pour out your heart; God welcomes honest emotion alongside steady trust.
4. Handle money with open hands. Celebrate increase, but strap it loosely; it was never meant to hold you up.
5. Ground security in the God whose power and love never trade places or expire.

Practical Applications:
Seek Rest in God
In moments of anxiety or stress, intentionally pause to seek God’s presence and find rest in Him, just as David did.

Evaluate Your Trust
Reflect on where you place your trust. Are you relying on worldly security, or is your confidence rooted in God?

Guard Against Materialism
Be mindful of the temptation to trust in wealth or possessions. Instead, focus on cultivating a heart that treasures God above all.

Embrace God’s Strength and Love
In times of weakness or fear, remind yourself of God’s strength and love, trusting that He is both powerful and compassionate.

Psalm 62 is a profound expression of faith, trust, and peace amidst turmoil. This Psalm is attributed to David, a man well-acquainted with both peace and adversity. Throughout this Psalm, David declares his unwavering trust in God as his refuge, salvation, and fortress, urging others to do the same.

hope you have a great day!
