Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 62:5

Theological / Devotional

Wait thou. In its first appearance the refrain expressed the psalmist’s resignation (see v. 1; see also Introduction to Ps. 62). Here, in its second appearance, it exhorts the psalmist to resign himself into God’s care.

Only. Heb. ’ak, the fourth occurrence of the word (see on v. 1).

Expectation. Compare v. 1. We may confidently look forward to ultimate, complete salvation. “He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:6).
