RRB notes on Psalm 62

Psalms 62 KJV

To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.

1. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

2. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

3. How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4. They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5. My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

6. He only is my rock [1] and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

[1] The “rock” is not Simon Peter in either Testament. The “rock” is only “Simon Peter” in one great worldwide, dictatorial, imperialistic, pagan religion. The “rock,” here, is the “Rock” of Deuteronomy 32:31. In the New Testament, the “Rock” is identified as Jesus Christ Himself (1 Pet. 2:6-8; 1 Cor. 10:4).

7. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9. Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: [2] to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. [a] 

[2] The verse is a slap in the face of every highly educated scholar, College graduate, and “doctor” from the major Christian Colleges, Universities, and Seminaries. Although the verse was only aimed at a person’s station in life, the “advanced revelation” of the KJV is so obvious and pointed that every new “Bible” on the market (and several of the major commentators) change the verse to get rid of the application to every destructive critic with a B.A., B.S., M.A., D.D., Ph.D., Th.D., etc., after his name.

[a] Cf. Psa. 39:5.

10. Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11. God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

12. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

 RRB notes on Psalm 61

Psalms 61 KJV

To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

1. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

2. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

5. For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6. Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.

7. He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

8. So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
