Ps 62 1 My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
3 How long will you assault a man?
Would all of you throw him down-
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4 They fully intend to topple him
from his lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.
Selah
There is only one person who has never thought or acted against your best interest. It is God Himself. God has the power to oppose every attempt of other beings to think or act against your best interest. God is the only being who thinks and acts to provide the ability for us to fulfill our purpose. Since the eternal God created us He knows exactly what we need. He knows us better than we know ourselves.
Anytime we think a stray thought that is not taught in Gods word, we offend God and our neighbor. The Psalms teach that if we are not pronouncing the law , covenants etc then we are learning to devise wicked schemes against God and our neighbors. Because we are corrupted in our minds and hearts we must be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We must be under the control of the Holy Spirit who teaches us Gods word. We must discipline ourselves to compare all ideas to the word of God.
So the Psalmist is complaining that the world is filled with wicked people who devise wicked schemes because they do not think thoughts after God. Nor do they apply to themselves these doctrines of grace in the pronouncements. So the Psalmist has learned to only trust in God. You see our lives should be spent in searching the scriptures and finding the details so that we can eliminate the false words that lessen the gospels power. We must become proficient in viewing everything in life through the lenses of the scriptures.7 My salvation and my honor depend on God
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
