Context of Psalms 62:6
4How long will all of you assault a man, to crush him, like a leaning wall, a fence to be torn down? 5They only plot to topple him from his rank. Delighting in falsehood, they bless with their mouth, but inwardly they curse. Selah My soul, wait in stillness, only for God— for from Him comes my expectation. 7He alone is my rock and my salvation, my strong tower—I will not be moved. 8On God, my salvation and my glory is the rock of my strength. My refuge is in God.
