Psalms 62:5
Rest in God alone, O my soul,
What it says
David tells his soul to rest in God alone, for his hope comes from him.
What it is doing
This verse turns confession into deliberate self-exhortation.
In context
1For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. 2He alone is my rock and my salvation. 3How long will you threaten a man? 4They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; 5Rest in God alone, O my soul, 6He alone is my rock and my salvation; 7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; 8Trust in Him at all times, O people; 9Lowborn men are but a vapor; 10Place no trust in extortion 11God has spoken once; 12and loving devotion to You, O Lord.
