God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto 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
God hath spoken once. So immutable is God that he need not speak twice, as though he had changed; so infallible, that one utterance suffices, for he cannot err; so omnipotent, that his solitary word achieves all his designs. We speak often and say nothing; God speaks once and utters eternal verities.
Here we have David's exhortation to others to trust in God and wait upon him, as he had done. Those that have found the comfort of the ways of God themselves will invite others into those ways; there is enough in God for all the saints to draw from, and we shall have never the less for others sharing with us. I.
