The text: Psalm 62 – NRSV
If you’ve been following along, today’s psalm is a bit of a change of pace. This gentle psalm is one to savor. Its message is simple: that only God is worthy of our trust. All I will say about trust is that, like many things in life, it is easy to break but very hard to restore. If you are someone who has experienced broken trust, then I hope this psalm may help you find a way back. Finding trust in God is the sure foundation of faith.
Read it slowly. Take your time. Pause often. Let every word speak. Note the unlabeled, repeated refrain in v. 1-2 and 5-6. Let its rhythm guide your reading. If memorizing helps you, perhaps try memorizing this refrain. If you want to try lectio divina, perhaps for the first time, this is a wonderful psalm to explore. I wish you joy in your exploring!
