Context of Psalms 62:6

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. 5Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him. He 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. 8Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.
