INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 62 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, [A Psalm] of David. Concerning "Jeduthun", [See comments on Psalms 39:1], title. Kimchi thinks this psalm was written concerning the captivity; and Jarchi על הדתות, concerning the decrees and judgments made against Israel by their enemies; and so some of their ancient expositions (d); but it seems to have been composed by David when in...

Trust in him at all times, [ye] people,.... Of the house of Israel, as the Targum; or of God, as Aben Ezra; all that are Israelites indeed, and are the Lord's covenant people; these are exhorted and encouraged to trust in him; not in a creature, nor in any outward thing, in riches, wisdom, strength, birth, privileges, the law, and the works of it; in their own righteousness, in their hearts, in...

This psalm has nothing in it directly either of prayer or praise, nor does it appear upon what occasion it was penned, nor whether upon any particular occasion, whether mournful or joyful. But in it, I. David with a great deal of pleasure professes his own confidence in God and dependence upon him, and encourages himself to continue waiting on him, ver. 1-7. II. With a great deal of earnestness...

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

It is among the many excellences of faith that it can see in the...

Ye people, pour out your heart before him: — The prophet Jeremiah bade the people pour out their heart “like water before the face of the Lord;” — not like oil, some of which clings to the glass but like water, which runs away to the last drop. So, sinner, pour out your whole heart before the Lord, for this is the way to be saved. Bring your heart, all full of sin and sorrow, turn it upside down,...

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;- I cannot tell what “times” you may be passing through just now, yet I can repeat David’s exhortation, “Trust in him at all times.” In your darkest hours, in the most terrible times that you ever have, when all seems lost, when the dearest object of your heart’s love is taken from...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Ye people, pour out your heart before him:- That is the way to get rid of all your troubles; take your heart, and turn it upside down, and pour out all that is in it. Do not save a drop or a drag: try not to hide one secret sorrow from your God, nor one slight grief that nestles in a corner of your spirit. “Pour out your heart before him.” It will not be wise for you to pour it out before your...

God is a refuge for us. Selah. Surely men of low degree are vanity, There is nothing in them; they are only the very essence of vanity.
