Psalm 62:7
My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
5My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
6He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
7My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
Notice
Honor appears alongside salvation here, making dependence on God a matter of how you are regarded as well as where you find shelter.
