Introduction
This psalm has nothing in it directly either of prayer or praise, nor does it appear upon what occasion it was penned, nor whether upon any particular occasion, whether mournful or joyful. But in it, I. David with a great deal of pleasure professes his own confidence in God and dependence upon him, and encourages himself to continue waiting on him (Psa 62:1-7). II. With a great deal of earnestness he excites and encourages others to trust in God likewise, and not in any creature (Psa 62:8-12). In singing it we should stir up ourselves to wait on God.
To the chief musician, to Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 62
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Concerning "Jeduthun", See Gill on Psa 39:1, title. Kimchi thinks this psalm was written concerning the captivity; and Jarchi , concerning the decrees and judgments made against Israel by their enemies; and so some of their ancient expositions (d); but it seems to have been composed by David when in distress, either through Saul and his courtiers, or by reason of the conspiracy of Absalom. Theodoret takes it to be a prophecy of the persecution of Antiochus in the times of the Maccabees.

waiteth--literally, "is silent," trusts submissively and confidently as a servant.
