📚 Historical Context

Psalm 62 is attributed to King David, who often wrote psalms as poetic expressions of his personal struggles and deep faith in God during his reign as king of Israel. In this verse, David is affirming his trust in God alone as his protector amid threats from enemies, which was common in his life as he faced political rivals and personal dangers. This reflects the ancient Israelite practice of viewing God as a reliable fortress in times of turmoil, drawing from their history of divine deliverance.
