Psalm 62
Psalm 62
1For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him cometh my salvation.
2He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
4They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah
1To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

Commentary · verses 5-8
Now David was speaking to the reader/singer, encouraging you to trust in God at all times.
9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.
10Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
Commentary · verses 9-10
Do not trust in oppression or in riches, trust in God.
11God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.
12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
11God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
Commentary · verses 11-12
God is Just. Eventually, we will all get exactly what we deserve. The timing of the next psalm was not known. It could have been when David was on the run during Absalom's rebellion...
The wicked lacked integrity and were hypocrites. Hypocrites SAY one thing and justify themselves when they DO something different.
