Let all that I am wait quietly before God, 

for my hope is in him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, 

my fortress where I will not be shaken.

My victory and honor come from God alone. 

He is my refuge, 

a rock where no enemy can reach me. 

O my people, trust in him at all times. 

Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.

Selah.

Psalm 62:5-8 NLT

David's enemies were still there, literally wanting to kill him. Telling lies about him, treating him with derision.

And at the same time he is saying in this song that he is unassailable.

When the world is against us, when the noise and clamor and pressure feels too much, we can sing this song;

"Let all that I am wait quietly before God, 

for my hope is in him."

We can remind ourselves that we don't have to rely on our own resources, that our God knows us, and we are beloved by Him;

"My victory and honor come from God alone."

And whenever we need to, we can in complete safety, tell Him just how we're going;

"Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge."
