Context of Psalms 62:6

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 5My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. 7In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. 8Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
