Psalms 62:1-2

Psalms 62:1-2

[1] [[To the chief Musician,  to Jeduthun,  A Psalm  of David.]]  Truly my soul  waiteth  upon God:  from him cometh my salvation.  [2] He only is my rock  and my salvation;  he is my defence;  I shall not be greatly  moved. 

What does Psalms 62:1-2 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

A literal translation of the first line would be, "My soul finds rest in God alone." That idea is the theme of this psalm (cf. Psalm 62:5). Rather than looking to other people for encouragement and security, David looked to God alone for these needs. He did this because he had discovered that God Himself was responsible for his deliverance. He had been a rock and stronghold for the psalmist in the past.
