Thomas Constable
Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 62:1-2
A literal translation of the first line would be, "My soul finds rest in God alone." That idea is the theme of this psalm (cf. Psalms 62:5). Rather than looking to other people for encouragement and security, David looked to God alone for these needs. He did this because he had discovered that God Himself was responsible for his deliverance. He had been a rock and stronghold for the psalmist in the past. read more

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
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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 62:2
(2) Defence.—Properly, high tower, as so often. The metaphor is important here from the contrast with the tottering wall of next verse.Shall not be greatly moved . . .—i.e. (as in Psalms 37:24), shall not be made to totter or fall. read more
William Nicoll
Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 62:1-12
Psalms 62:1-12THERE are several points of affinity between this psalm and the thirty-ninth-such as the frequent use of the particle of asseveration or restriction ("surely" or "only"); the rare and beautiful word for "silence," as expressing restful, still resignation; and the characterisation of men as "vanity." These resemblances are not proofs of identity of authorship, though establishing a presumption in its favour. Delitzsch accepts the psalm as Davidic, and refers it to the time of... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 62:1-12
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. 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). David’s enemies think they can ruin... read more
