Psalm 62:1-3

 Psalm 62:1-3 (ESV) 

expresses David's absolute trust in God as his secure refuge during distress, stating, "For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken." He questions how long enemies will attack him. 

Text (ESV):

1. "For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation."
2. "He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken."
3. "How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?" 

Key Themes and Context:

• Total Dependence: The passage highlights a "calm resolve" to rely solely on God rather than human help.
• Metaphors for Security: God is described as a "rock," "salvation," and "fortress"—implying strength, deliverance, and safety.
• The Contrast: While David feels stable in God, his enemies are described as trying to knock him down like a "leaning wall" or "tottering fence".
• Context: Likely written by David during a time of personal conspiracy or distress, possibly involving Saul or Absalom.
