Context of Psalms 62:5
3How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence? 4They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah. Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him. 6He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved. 7With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
