What does Psalm 62:6 mean?

This verse resembles an earlier statement in the song (Psalm 62:2). Both use terms emphasizing the unshakable, firm, steady, reliable nature of God as an anchor point for faith. The most secure foundation for any building is solid rock which cannot be washed away or easily broken. Faith in God is the same: it means trust in the unchanging and omnipotent Creator (Psalm 27:1, 3; Hebrews 13:5–6). Jesus used this "rock" analogy when teaching about the wisdom of trusting in God, rather than other ideas (Luke 6:48).

In the prior comment, David denied that he could be "greatly" shaken. Here, he implies that he won't be shaken at all. This adds a sense of ever-growing calm to his words. The more a believer meditates on the fact that he is secure in Christ, the calmer he will be in the face of difficult circumstances. Jesus said no one can tear believers from His grasp (John 10:28–30). The apostle Paul reminded Colossian believers to focus on the Lord, since He was the source of their great and sure hope (Colossians 3:2). He further explains, "for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God" (Colossians 3:3).
