Psalm 62 is a specific kind of psalm of supplication, a psalm of trust. It is a calm affirmation of reliance on God, with the troubles of the psalmist mostly in the background. See the discussion of the types of psalms in the introduction to the book of Psalms. 1. Statement of trust (1–2) 2. Description of opponents (3–4) 3. Statement of trust (5–6) 4. Exhortation to listeners (8–10) 5. Affirmation of God’s power and goodness (11–12)
