On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
David encourages himself and others to stake everything on God alone, turning from the evanescent things of the world that pull us away from Him. We are prone to trust what our senses show us, yet these perish; the psalm teaches us the folly of divided dependence and calls us to rest in God entirely.

Commenting on Psalm 62:1-12
In God is my salvation and my glory. Wherein should we glory but in him who saves us? Our honour may well be left with him who secures our souls. To find all in God, and to glory that it is so, is one of the sure marks of an enlightened soul. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
David waits upon God with his whole soul, silent before Him, acquiescing in all His providence and patiently expecting deliverance. He knows salvation comes from God alone, not from any creature; therefore he cheerfully refers all his affairs to the Lord's will and wisdom, and this is both our duty and our comfort.
