2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
2 He only is my rock H6697 and my salvation; H3444 he is my defence; H4869 I shall not be greatly H7227 moved. H4131
2 He only is my rock and my salvation: `He is' my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
2 Only -- He `is' my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress-- I will never be greatly shaken.
2 He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me. I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Commentary on Psalms 62 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
PSALM 62
Ps 62:1-12. To Jeduthun—(See on Ps 39:1, title). The general tone of this Psalm is expressive of confidence in God. Occasion is taken to remind the wicked of their sin, their ruin, and their meanness.
1. waiteth—literally, "is silent," trusts submissively and confidently as a servant.
2. The titles applied to God often occur (Ps 9:9; 18:2).
be greatly moved—(Ps 10:6). No injury shall be permanent, though devised by enemies.
3. Their destruction will come; as a tottering wall they already are feeble and failing.
bowing wall shall ye be—better supply "are." Some propose to apply these phrases to describe the condition of "a man"—that is, the pious suffer: thus, "Will ye slay him," &c.; but the other is a good sense.
4. his excellency—or, elevation to which God had raised him (Ps 4:2). This they try to do by lies and duplicity (Ps 5:9).
5, 6. (Compare Ps 62:1, 2).
6. not be moved—not at all; his confidence has increased.
7. rock of my strength—or strongest support (Ps 7:10; 61:3).
8. pour out your heart—give full expression to feeling (1Sa 1:15; Job 30:16; Ps 42:4).
ye people—God's people.
9. No kind of men are reliable, compared with God (Isa 2:22; Jer 17:5).
altogether—alike, one as the other (Ps 34:3).
10. Not only are oppression and robbery, which are wicked means of wealth, no grounds of boasting; but even wealth, increasing lawfully, ought not to engross the heart.
11. once; twice—(as in Job 33:14; 40:5), are used to give emphasis to the sentiment. God's power is tempered by His mercy, which it also sustains.
12. for thou renderest—literally, "that Thou renderest," &c., connected with "I heard this," as the phrase—"that power," &c. [Ps 62:11]—teaching that by His power He can show both mercy and justice.
