Psalm 62

V 1–8: WAITING Faced with intense opposition, David claims that God is his rock, salvation and defence. He instructs his soul to wait for God. He encourages others to trust in Him and pour out their hearts before God who is their refuge. V 9: WEIGHING God knows the true weight of ungodly men. They are lighter than vapour and have no righteousness that registers on the scales. V 10: WORLDLINESS Not only oppression and robbery must be rejected, but so must worldly and materialistic dependence upon increased riches. They can never meet man’s spiritual needs. V 11–12: WORD Mercy, power, and justice are in David’s mind after God has spoken to him. God’s word is crucially important.
