Ps 62 This psalm expresses confidence in the king and offers prayer for him. The king rests in God despite his difficulties. Although his deceptive and powerful adversaries push hard against him, he remains undaunted. He encourages himself and his people to trust in God and to see their human adversaries from God’s perspective, where they appear frail, fleeting, and deceptive (62:9).
Trusting God in the Psalms
The Lord’s love leads people to trust in him (13:5; 17:7; 21:7; 32:10; 36:7; 52:8; 143:8). His name and reputation also encourage people’s trust (9:10; 20:7; 33:21). The godly reject idolatry and any commitment that detracts from their absolute trust in the Lord (31:6, 14; 44:6; 49:6-13; 52:7). Trust in the Lord is a form of wisdom that rejects folly and evil and pursues the Lord’s way (31:19; 37:3, 5; 115:11).
For the godly, every adversity in life is an occasion for growth in trust (9:9; 25:2; 46:1; 55:23; 57:1; 59:16; 62:8; 78:7). The godly are not afraid of life’s circumstances (56:3-4, 11; 112:7) but grow more confident in the midst of them (112:7; 125:1).
The Lord rescues, cares for, and rewards his people who trust in him (see 7:1; 16:1; 25:20; 26:1; 31:1-2, 4, 19; 34:22; 37:39-40; 86:2). They are blessed (2:12; 22:4-5; 34:8; 40:4; 84:12) as they long for God’s redemption (37:7, 34; 38:15; 40:1; 119:166; 130:5-6). Faith in the Lord gives reason to rejoice and praise the Lord (5:11; 18:30-36; 28:7; 40:3; 56:4; 64:10).

(Some words not found in UHB: not trust in/on/at/with,extortion and,in/on/at/with,robbery not set_~_vainhopes riches that/for/because/then/when increase not set heart )
This means that God has said this more than once.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
power belongs to God
(Some words not found in UHB: not trust in/on/at/with,extortion and,in/on/at/with,robbery not set_~_vainhopes riches that/for/because/then/when increase not set heart )
God being characterized by power is spoken of as if power belonged to him. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word power, you could express the same idea with an adjective. Alternate translation: “God is powerful” (See also: figs-abstractnouns)
