I read this psalm this morning. . .I just love God's providence and timing! The bold type is my emphasis. No, we are not to be hermits. But a bondslave does not expect other bondslaves to meet his/her needs and wants; he/she looks to the Master. I can give of myself generously to others because I know that my God is my refuge and my salvation and my everything!
To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
62:1 For God alone my soul waits in silence;from him comes my salvation.
2 He only 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?
3 How long will all of you attack a man to batter him,like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.They take pleasure in falsehood.They bless with their mouths,but inwardly they curse.
Selah
5 For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,for my hope is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation,my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God rests my salvation and my glory;my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
8 Trust in him at all times, O people;pour out your heart before him;God is a refuge for us.
8 Trust in him at all times, O people;pour out your heart before him;God is a refuge for us.
Selah
9 Those of low estate are but a breath;those of high estate are a delusion;in the balances they go up;they are together lighter than a breath.
9 Those of low estate are but a breath;those of high estate are a delusion;in the balances they go up;they are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no trust in extortion;set no vain hopes on robbery;if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11 Once God has spoken;twice have I heard this:that power belongs to God,
11 Once God has spoken;twice have I heard this:that power belongs to God,
12 and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.For you will render to a man according to his work.
Is He your refuge? Will you trust Him at all times?
