Context of Psalms 62:2
1I am at rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will never be shaken. 3How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you attack as if he were a leaning wall or a tottering fence? 4They only plan to bring him down from his high position. They take pleasure in lying; they bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly.Selah
