Psalm, Chapter 62
God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.
For the choir director; [a]according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
62 My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him is my salvation.
- The title of this message is God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression
o First we note the God Alone is the answer
o Second we note that God is a Refuge, a place of safety to run too
o Third we learn God is a refuge from Treachery & Oppression
§ Treachery is a violation of allegiance or of faith; behavior that deceives or is not loyal to someone who trusts you
§ Oppression is unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power; prevented from having freedom or opportunities
- For the choir director, according to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David
o This means this passage was meant to be a song that would be taught, memorized and sang in order to remember the words
o Jeduthun means praise or to praise
- So we learn from this title that:
o God alone is the answer
o He is a refuge, a safe place to run too
o From deceptive disloyal people and people trying to prevent your freedom & opportunities
o We should remember and sing this song
o The result will end in praise to God!
- My Soul waits in silence for God only
o This is the key
§ To wait in silence for God only
- From Him is my salvation
o The reason you wait for Him
o Because He is the only One who can provide eternal salvation
o Nobody else’s opinion matters
o So we learn to wait on Him and not take matters into our own hands
2 He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
- He only is my rock and my salvation
o Again it is He only (Jesus Christ and not other name under heaven)
o He is my rock (solid ground on which to stand or build your life upon)
o And my salvation (the One who save me from everything in this life)
- My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken
o My stronghold is a rock fortress which cannot be penetrated by your enemies
o In short, God will protect you from all harm
o Therefore, I shall not be greatly shaken
§ This means nothing else should rock your world because God is your protector
§ If God is your rock and salvation, you have nothing to fear
