Psalm 62:1-12
Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
How long will you assault me? Would all of you throw me down—this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Surely the lowborn are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie. if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: "Power belongs to you, God, and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”
The psalmist commits his cause to God. Human beings are bent on destruction, but what are they? Power belongs to God, who wields it with love and justice.
Why?
this leaning wall, this tottering fence: means David is weak, he confessed before the Lord, He relies on the Lord.
David declared that Power belongs to God and with God, is unfailing love, one more thing is God rewards everyone according to what they have done. God is love and righteousness.
All men before the Lord are the same breath, our life is easy passed away, nothing is forever on the world. Thrust in the Lord at all times. Do not set our hearts on our riches when it is increasing. All of these are the grace of the Lord.

大衛的處境：遇到一些言語上攻擊他的人。原來是在身旁，稱讚他的人。私下卻想推倒他，說惡言的。
1.v1-4 敬默等候: 在這惡劣環境下，他默默無聲，沒有抗議，也沒有抱怨，沒有求神。他知道神知道，神一定會拯救他。“我必不很動搖”，經歷動搖，心中其實也是害怕的。
2.v5-8 實足有把握。“我必不動搖”，比前兩節更有把握，當我們願意繼續信靠，神讓我們更有把握。從救恩變成盼望，把結果寄託在神身上，把希望放在將來的盼望，而不是放在現在救他，得勝的時候，他順服就改變了。不僅自己勝過，而且可以勉勵別人
3.v9-12 依靠神的能力才是最實際的。上流人，下流人指的是不依靠神的人，依靠自己能力、勢力、財力，把別人擠掉，這些都是虛空的。不要把財寶放在心上，而是我們在乎的是什麼? 不要因我們有財產就比較放心。押撒龍與掃羅勢力都很大，照理應該會得勝，但是依靠自己的勢力，最後失敗。依靠神絕對不會吃虧、上當。
第一：求主幫助我們順服，不僅站立穩而且可以鼓勵別人。第二：我們是在乎的是什麼?

How?
Honor the Holy Name of the Lord, God is my hope and my salvation. God is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
