Psalm Sixty Two
by Dr. Henry M. Morris
(taken from the Defender's Study Bible)
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
Jeduthun. On the meaning of “Jeduthun,” see note on Psalm 39 (title).
Psalm 62:1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
Psalm 62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
He only. Note the six-fold use of “only” in this psalm (Psalm 62:2, 4-6). The same Hebrew word (ak) is translated “truly” in Psalm 62:1 and “surely” in Psalm 62:9.
Psalm 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
Psalm 62:6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
Psalm 62:7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Psalm 62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
