Psalm 62:8

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 62:1-12

Self-communion Psa 62:8 What good comes of believing in the God of the Bible? What are the practical effects of such faith? Is it. some thing which so remotely and inappreciably affects life as to be a matter of very small concern to us? or is it a faith which touches life at every point; the very sunshine of being, which brings its morning, its summer, its autumnal mellowness and satisfaction? The answer is suggested in the text, "Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 62:8

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "Trust in him at all times." Psa 62:8 The emphasis must be upon the continuousness of the trust. Occasional trust is continual infidelity. Spasmodic religion is but a variety of unbelief. In the regularity, the continuousness, it may be even the monotony, of our religious sacrifices we find their genuine worth. It is difficult for some minds to distinguish between that which is regular and that which is monotonous. We may so live as to make sunshine... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 62:8

He now addressed the people of God, as he had before expostulated with the ungodly. And the sum and substance of his advice is, to proclaim the certainty of their interest in a covenant God in Christ, from the evidence of his faithfulness. Not only to a general trust, but a constant, special, particular trust; not only now and then, but at all times, and upon all occasions. And not only to a trust, but an acquaintance with the Lord; nay, to pour out the heart, to tell the Lord all that passeth... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 62:8-12

8-12 Those who have found the comfort of the ways of God themselves, will invite others into those ways; we shall never have the less for others sharing with us. the good counsel given is, to trust wholly in God. We must so trust in him at all times, as not at any time to put that trust in ourselves, or in any creature, which is to be put in him only. Trust in him to guide us when in doubt, to protect us when in danger, to supply us when in want, to strengthen us for every good word and work.... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 62:1-12

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

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 62:1-12

Psalms 62:0To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David Truly my soul waiteth upon God:From him cometh my salvation.2 He only is my rock and my salvation;He is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.3 How 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.4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies:They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

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

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
