What does Psalm 62:11 mean?

Several passages in the Bible use a "counting up" technique to emphasize a point (Amos 1:3; Proverbs 6:16; 30:15, 18; Isaiah 17:6; Ecclesiastes 11:2). This verse includes a Hebrew figure of speech (Job 33:14) that implies something common, or sure: a statement which can be reliably credited to God. Here, the declaration is that God, alone, has ultimate power. Others may have temporary lives and limited wealth (Psalm 62:9–10) but only God is eternal and absolute (Psalm 62:5–7).

David's faith in God's power allowed him to remain calm in the face of dangers (Psalm 62:1–2). Believers today can count on the Lord's capacity to save everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). He also has the power to hold the universe together (Hebrews 1:3), to destroy the devil (Hebrews 2:14), to save entirely those who come to Him through Jesus (Hebrews 7:25), to answer prayer (Philippians 4:6–7), to "do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think" (Ephesians 3:20), and to empower believers to live righteous lives (Jude 1:24).
