Psalm 62:10 KJV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 62:10

Psalms 62:10. Trust not in oppression That is, in riches gotten by fraud and violence; or in the arts of acquiring them. As you must not trust in any other men, so neither must you trust to yourselves, nor to your own wit, or industry, or courage, by which you may oppress others, and so think to secure and enrich yourselves. And become not vain in robbery Lifting up and feeding yourselves with vain hopes of safety and felicity from those riches which you take from others by robbery and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 62:1-12

Psalms 61-64 Longing for GodFar from home, weary, depressed and in danger, David seeks refuge and refreshment with God. He trusts that God will bring him safely back to Jerusalem and give him the strength to carry out his promise to lead God’s people in God’s ways (61:1-5). The people with him add their support to his request (6-7), and David responds that he will always remain faithful to his task (8).God alone is the strength of David’s assurance (62:1-2).

One thing God hath pronounced; there are two which I have heard; Psa 62:12 that power belongeth unto God, and that to thee, Lord, belongeth favour; for thou wilt render to every man according to his work.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 62:1-12

Psalms 62David expressed trust in the Lord in spite of opposition in this psalm of confidence. He contrasted the security that comes from trusting in God with the insecurity of hoping in human schemes. The background may be Absalom’s rebellion. [Note: Kirkpatrick, pp. 347-48.] read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 62:9-10

It is unwise to put one’s ultimate confidence in other people, whether they are of low or high position. The reason for this is that all human beings are comparatively insignificant. They are as transitory and ephemeral as a breath of wind (lit. vapor; cf. Psalms 39:5; Psalms 39:11; Psalms 144:4; Ecclesiastes 12:1; Ecclesiastes 12:7). Consequently the actions and products of human endeavor are poor objects in which to trust."The point, then, is not so much that we have nothing to fear from man... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 62:1-12

This is a Ps. of the strongest faith, in which the experience of hostility (Psalms 62:3-4) and the contemplation of life (Psalms 62:9-10) only provide the background against which a serene confidence in God displays itself. Its tone is not inconsistent with the character of David, who ’strengthened himself in the Lord his God’ (1 Samuel 30:6 RV). Psalms 62:1-2 are practically repeated in Psalms 62:5, Psalms 62:6.Title.—Jeduthun] see on Psalms 39.1. Truly.. waiteth] RV ’my soul waiteth only.’... read more
