Trusting in God "at all times" suggests a continuous and consistent reliance on Him, regardless of circumstances. This reflects the biblical theme of God's faithfulness and the call for His people to remain steadfast. Historical context shows that Israel often faced trials, such as invasions and exiles, which required them to trust in God's deliverance. This call to trust is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/proverbs/3-5.htm">Proverbs 3:5-6</a>, which encourages believers to trust in the Lord with all their heart. The phrase "O people" indicates a communal call, suggesting that this trust is not just individual but collective, aligning with the covenant relationship between God and Israel.<p><b>pour out your hearts before Him.</b><br>This phrase invites believers to be open and honest with God, expressing their deepest emotions and concerns. The act of pouring out one's heart implies vulnerability and sincerity, akin to the prayers of lament found throughout the Psalms. This reflects the cultural practice of prayer and supplication in ancient Israel, where individuals would present their petitions and grievances to God. The phrase also connects to the New Testament teaching in <a href="/philippians/4-6.htm">Philippians 4:6-7</a>, where believers are encouraged to present their requests to God with thanksgiving. It underscores the personal relationship God desires with His people, where they can freely communicate their innermost thoughts and feelings.<p><b>God is our refuge.</b><br>This declaration affirms God's role as a protector and safe haven for His people. The imagery of God as a refuge is prevalent throughout the Psalms, symbolizing safety, security, and peace amidst life's storms. In the historical context of ancient Israel, cities of refuge provided safety for those seeking asylum, reflecting God's provision of spiritual refuge. This concept is further developed in the New Testament, where Jesus is seen as the ultimate refuge for believers, offering salvation and eternal security. The assurance of God as a refuge is a recurring theme, providing comfort and hope to those who trust in Him.<p><b>Selah</b><br>The term "Selah" is often found in the Psalms, though its exact meaning is uncertain. It is generally understood as a pause or interlude, inviting the reader or listener to reflect on the preceding words. In this context, "Selah" encourages contemplation of the trust, openness, and refuge found in God. It serves as a moment to meditate on the truths expressed, allowing them to resonate deeply within the heart and mind. This reflective pause is an integral part of the worship experience, fostering a deeper connection with God and His Word.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/62.htm">Psalm 62</a>, David was the second king of Israel, known for his deep relationship with God and his psalms of worship and lament.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, God is portrayed as a refuge and a trustworthy entity in whom people can place their confidence.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/people.htm">People</a></b><br>The audience of the psalm, likely referring to the Israelites, but by extension, all believers who are encouraged to trust in God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/selah.htm">Selah</a></b><br>A term used frequently in the Psalms, possibly indicating a pause for reflection or musical interlude, emphasizing the importance of the preceding statement.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god_at_all_times.htm">Trust in God at All Times</a></b><br>Trust is not conditional or situational; it is a constant reliance on God regardless of circumstances.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/pour_out_your_heart.htm">Pour Out Your Heart</a></b><br>God desires an intimate relationship with us where we can express our deepest fears, hopes, and desires.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god_as_our_refuge.htm">God as Our Refuge</a></b><br>In times of trouble, God is a safe haven, providing protection and peace.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/reflect_and_meditate.htm">Reflect and Meditate</a></b><br>The use of "Selah" invites us to pause and deeply consider the truth of God's faithfulness and refuge.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_encouragement.htm">Community Encouragement</a></b><br>The call to "O people" suggests a communal aspect of faith, encouraging believers to support one another in trusting God.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_62.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 62</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_no_proof_for_skeptics_in_psalm_62_8.htm">If Psalm 62:8 urges total trust in God, why does the text provide no tangible proof for skeptics demanding empirical evidence? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_injustice_present_in_psalm_62.htm">In Psalm 62, why is there still rampant injustice (verses 3, 9-10) if God truly is the believer's secure refuge?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_defines_cosmonomic_philosophy.htm">Who was Adoniram Judson, the missionary to Burma?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_on_trials.htm">What does the Bible teach about enduring trials?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/62.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 8.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Trust in him at all times, ye people.</span> It is characteristic of David to join the "people" with himself in all his fears and in all his hopes.
