Psalms 62

REFLECTIONS UPON PSALM LXII.—Patient and submissive resignation of our souls to God is the certain mean of an happy issue of all our troubles. He is the alone author and finisher of all our salvation. In so doing, corruptions and temptations may shake us, but cannot move us, either fully or finally, from grace.

In him they are saved, secured, strengthened, and protected; and, in him, not in themselves, do they glory. The more their faith in him is exercised, the stronger it becomes. The more we trust in men, or in worldly enjoyments, the more disappointment and hurt we shall meet with. But the more we depend on, cry to, or consider, God, we shall find the mere pleasure, safety, and comfort.
