Commentary on Psalm 62:1-7. We are in the way both of duty and comfort, when our souls wait upon God; when we cheerfully give up ourselves, and all our affairs, to his will and wisdom; when we leave ourselves to all the ways of his providence, and patiently expect the event, with full satisfaction in his goodness. Here, David began by declaring his great confidence in and trust upon God. Psalm 62 seems to come from a time of trouble, yet it asks God for nothing. It is full of faith and trust, but has no fear, no despair, and no petition. The main theme of the psalm is the right and wrong objects of faith. If we trust in God, we’re secure. If we trust in men or in things, we’re depending on that which is lighter than breath (Psalm 62:9). Interestingly, even though David was in a life-threatening situation, the psalm contains no prayer.
Psalm Chapter 62:1-12
Truly my soul waits upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. 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. They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. Surely 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. Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongs mercy: for thou renders to every man according to his work.
Father God, I thank You and praise You for Your Powerful mind that created everything. I thank You and praise You that You have given my mind to me as a gift to take care of. Thank You that this mind can heal the body. I am believing for no decay in this body of mine until I am well away from it and my spirit is with You in Heaven. I am believing for healing of bodys Jehovah Rapha and Your hedge of angels around all Your creation that love You. I thank You and praise You , for the cloud of witnesses that demonstrated a quite confidence in You. Hush my heart today I am believing, and help me, like them, to fix the thoughts of my mind and the meditation of my heart on You alone and quietly wait in silence for You. Knowing You are my Rock of Salvation, my Defense and Defender. My Lord, my Way, my very breath, my life and my All in All, in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God.
