Psalm 62
Concise Complete
David's confidence in God. (1-7) No trust to be put in worldly things.
(8-12)
Verses 1-7 We are
in the way both of duty and comfort, when our souls wait upon God; when we
cheerfully give up ourselves, and all our affairs, to his will and wisdom; when
we leave ourselves to all the ways of his providence, and patiently expect the
event, with full satisfaction in his goodness. See the ground and reason of this
dependence. By his grace he has supported me, and by his providence delivered
me. He only can be my Rock and my salvation; creatures are nothing without him,
therefore I will look above them to him. Trusting in God, the heart is fixed. If
God be for us, we need not fear what man can do against us. David having put his
confidence in God, foresees the overthrow of his enemies. We have found it good
to wait upon the Lord, and should charge our souls to have such constant
dependence upon him, as may make us always easy. If God will save my soul, I may
well leave every thing else to his disposal, knowing all shall turn to my
salvation. And as David's faith in God advances to an unshaken stedfastness, so
his joy in God improves into a holy triumph. Meditation and prayer are blessed
means of strengthening faith and hope.
Verses 8-12 Those
who have found the comfort of the ways of God themselves, will invite others
into those ways; we shall never have the less for others sharing with us. the
good counsel given is, to trust wholly in God. We must so trust in him at all
times, as not at any time to put that trust in ourselves, or in any creature,
which is to be put in him only. Trust in him to guide us when in doubt, to
protect us when in danger, to supply us when in want, to strengthen us for every
good word and work. We must lay out wants and our wishes before him, and then
patiently submit our wills to his: this is pouring out our hearts. God is a
refuge for all, even for as many as will take shelter in him. The psalmist warns
against trusting in men. The multitude, those of low degree, are changeable as
the wind. The rich and noble seem to have much in their power, and lavish
promises; but those that depend on them, are disappointed. Weighed in the
balance of Scripture, all that man can do to make us happy is lighter than
vanity itself. It is hard to have riches, and not to trust in them if they
increase, though by lawful and honest means; but we must take heed, lest we set
our affections unduly upon them. A smiling world is the most likely to draw the
heart from God, on whom alone it should be set. The consistent believer receives
all from God as a trust; and he seeks to use it to his glory, as a steward who
must render an account. God hath spoken as it were once for all, that power
belongs to him alone. He can punish and destroy. Mercy also belongs to him; and
his recompensing the imperfect services of those that believe in him, blotting
out their transgressions for the Redeemer's sake, is a proof of abundant mercy,
and encourages us to trust in him. Let us trust in his mercy and grace, and
abound in his work, expecting mercies from him alone.
