Psalms 62:6
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.
BSB
ASV
He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be moved.
KJV
He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
He only is my rock and my salvation. Alone, and without other help, God is the foundation and completion of my safety. We cannot too often hear the toll of that great bell only; let it ring the death knell of all carnal reliances, and lead us to cast ourselves on the bare arm of God. He is my defence. Not my defender only, but my actual protection. I am secure, because he is faithful. I shall not be moved—not even in the least degree. See how his confidence grows.

CALVIN translates this verse, “My soul, be thou silent before God.” Rest calm and undisturbed. Thine enemies are round about thee, and have sore beset thee thy troubles do surround thee like strong bulls of Bashan; but rest, my soul, in God. Thine enemies are mighty, but HE IS Almighty; thy troubles are grievous, but he is greater than thy troubles, and he shall deliver thee from them. Let not thy soul be agitated. The wicked are like the troubled sea that cannot rest: be not thou like unto them.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.
Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame; do not be intimidated, for you will not be humiliated. For you will forget the shame of your youth and will remember…
For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
You will have plenty to eat, until you are satisfied. You will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders for you. My people will never again be put to…
