Context of Psalms 62:2
1Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. 3How long will you attack a man? You shall be slain, all of you, Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence. 4They only consult to cast him down from his high position; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, But they curse inwardly. Selah
