 Book 2, Series 3. The Great Tribulation. (“The Placement of the Psalms in Prophecy” by B. Anstey)
 Waiting on God is the subject of this psalm. It implies dependence, confidence; and both in such sort that we abide God's time: dependence, because we cannot do anything without Him, and ought not; because what He does is what the soul alone desires; because action without Him, even in self-defense, is only the action of our own will, and so our being without God so far. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 59-63 by J.N. Darby)
 In the last psalm, the godly man, though looking to God, is nevertheless overwhelmed in spirit. Here, looking only to God, he is revived in spirit. (Psalms 62 by H. Smith)
 In this psalm the faith and confidence of the godly remnant rises higher still. Even though evil is prevailing around them, they are able to rest in God peacefully as they wait for deliverance. (Book 2. by B. Anstey)
