Psalms 62:5-8

God Alone Is My Rock, Salvation, and Refuge

quiet trust in God alone -> enemy deception exposed -> renewed command to wait for God -> communal invitation to pour out the heart -> warning against human rank and wealth -> final confession of God's power, steadfast love, and judgment

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

5Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

6He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.

7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; my refuge is in God.

8Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah
