Context of Psalms 62:7
5Wait calmly for God alone, my soul, because my hope comes from him. 6He alone is my rock and my savior—my stronghold. I cannot be shaken. My salvation and my glory depend on God. God is the rock of my strength, my refuge. 8Trust him at all times, you people. Pour out your hearts in his presence. God is our refuge. Selah 9Common people are only a whisper in the wind. Important people are only a delusion. When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing. They are less than a whisper in the wind.
