Psalms 62:11-12

Psalms 62:11-12

[11] God  hath spoken  once;  twice  have I heard  this;  that power  belongeth unto God.  [12] Also unto thee, O Lord,  belongeth mercy:  for thou renderest  to every man  according to his work. 

What does Psalms 62:11-12 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Human power is weak, but divine power is mighty. God"s loyal love is likewise great. He will distribute justice to everyone. Therefore it is important that human beings trust in God rather than in other people and their works.
People are constantly deciding whether to trust in what they can see. In this psalm David helps us see that God Himself is a much better person to trust than any mortal man. We should trust God, who remains faithful forever, because human beings pass away quickly.
