Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 62:2

Theological / Devotional

Only. Heb. ’ak, “only,” “surely,” the second appearance of the word in this psalm (see on v. 1).

Rock. Compare Ps. 18:2, 61:2.

My salvation. The psalmist observes that not only does his salvation come from God (v. 1); God is his salvation.

Greatly moved. See Ps. 37:24; Micah 7:8. Compare v. 6, where the psalmist, with still greater confidence, says that he will not be moved at all. This represents the triumph of faith.
