3 Minutes 13 Seconds [Psalm 62]

The Psalms were meant to be sung, and sometimes the best way to experience a psalm is as a song.

This is from John Michael Talbot. Take the 3 minutes and 13 seconds to just sit and listen.



Psalm 62 (Only in God)

Verse 1
Only in God is my soul at rest
In Him comes my salvation
He only is my Rock
My strength and my salvation

Chorus
My stronghold my Savior
I shall not be afraid at all
My stronghold my Savior
I shall not be moved

Verse 2
Only in God is found safety
When the enemy pursues me
Only in God is found glory
When I am found meek and found lowly

Chorus
My stronghold my Savior
I shall not be afraid at all
My stronghold my Savior
I shall not be moved
Only in God is my soul at rest
In Him comes my salvation


Psalm 62


From the Bible Project:

David meditates on how, in times of distress and instability, God himself is the only source of hope and rest. Whatever people may be plotting against him, their plans are ultimately temporary and transient. In contrast, God is likened to an unshakable rock to whom David can call upon in his pain and anxiety. So David chooses to simply wait for God to answer with loyal love.

As you read Psalm 62, what brings you the most comfort?

In what ways do you resonate with the idea of being in the midst of chaos but finding rest in God?

Take a moment to meditate on the idea of God as a refuge in the midst of chaos.
