Psalm 62 is the 62nd psalm from the Book of Psalms. In the slightly different numbering system used in the Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate translations of the Bible, this psalm is Psalm 61. It is attributed to King David.
The psalm offers a warning not to let one's power erode one's trust in God.[1]
Jeduthun's name stands at the head of this psalms, along with Psalms 39 and 77. In 1 Chronicles 16:41–42 he is one of the chief singers, and his sons were gatekeepers at the tent of the Ark of the Covenant. His name is mentioned, perhaps, as a special honour.[2]
