Context of Psalms 62:5
3How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? 4They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him. 6He only is my rock and my salvation: He ismy high tower; I shall not be moved. 7With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
