In verses 2 and 6 of Psalm 62 [[David]] gives his source of strength even in the time of trouble. He says, "He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved." This Psalm is a poem of devotion to [[God]] and shows [[David]]'s unwavering trust in Him. He had many troubles, but he never failed to trust in the [[Lord]].
In Psalm 63 [[David]] is thirsting for [[God]]. This Psalm seems to belong to the period when [[David]] was in the wilderness (I [[Samuel]] 24), fleeing from Absalom. [[David]] was still confident of restoration.
Psalm 64 is a prayer for protection against the plots of [[David]]'s secret enemies. Again we see that he is confident that, through [[God]], he will triumph.
Psalm 65 speaks of the millennial restitution of the earth. Spiritual blessings are realized (verses 1-5), as well as temporal and material benefits (verses 6-13). This Psalm, as well as [[Psalms]] 66, 67, and 68 describe the "restitution of all things, which [[God]] hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began" (Acts 3:21).
Every [[Christian]] should commit to memory Psalm 66:18: "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the [[Lord]] will not hear me." [[God]] will not hear the prayers of His saints if they are negligent in reading His precious Word, or if there is strife among the family. I do believe, however, that one of the most prominent reasons for unanswered prayer in the life of a [[Christian]] is that of unconfessed [[sin]]!
Psalm 67 speaks of full kingdom joy and blessing. The nations know and praise [[God]] in verses 1-4, and worldwide prosperity follows in verses 5 and 6.
