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

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

Psalms 62:0 Waiting and Trusting 1. He only (Psalms 62:1-2 ) 2. Persecuted (Psalms 62:3-4 ) 3. My expectation from him (Psalms 62:5-12 ) This Psalm is not difficult to interpret. It has always been food for the saints of God. Faith in God in the midst of adversity and persecution, waiting on Him, expecting salvation, deliverance and defense only from Him is beautifully expressed. Like all these Psalms this one also gives us a prophetic glimpse into the experience of the remnant of... 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.
