Chapter 62

David.

2025 - For reading when we are overwhelmed.

1st, God alone is our refuge.

2025 - vs 1 - Wait in silence.

vs 5 - Wait in silence

vs 8 - Trust in Him at all times

2025 - Rock.  Salvation.  Stronghold.  All defensive positions.  Psalms shows us this over and over.  God is our defense, not our weapon to wield against others according to our own plans and ambitions.  God is not a tool for us to use.

2nd, Wicked try only to pull down the good.

3rd, A mighty refuge is our God, the song may have come from this stanza.  It is about depending only on God for help, for refuge, for defense.  It is about waiting for God's help.

4th, A plea for people to hope in God, and not in wicked plots and plans and schemes.

5th, Summary, All power belongs to God, and He will render to each according to his work.

This would be good for FB posts.  These last two verses.

2023 - But...this verse:

12 and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work. [Psa 62:12 ESV].  That last sentence juxtaposed with the book of Job.  It is how we want it to work, and David puts it here as if it a truth. It ought to read "For you will render to a man as you see fit, as your purpose is best served.  That is how it really works.  I am far more blessed than I have "earned".  I know some less blessed than me who certainly seem to deserve more.  This is a difficult concept.  It is one of those things where the Bible clearly says both are true.
