Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
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
Trust in him at all times. Faith is an abiding duty, a perpetual privilege. We should trust when we can see, as well as when we are utterly in the dark. Adversity is a fit season for faith; but prosperity is not less so. God at all times deserves our confidence. We at all times need to place our confidence in him.
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.
