Psalm 62 Worksheet

There are 3
Psalms that are to Juduthun – 39, 62, and 77 – one in each of the first 3 of
the 5 books of the Psalms. Jeduthun’s name means “_____________________,” and
he was one of David’s first praise leaders, leading one of the 3 main sections
of musicians.

The main
theme of Psalm 62 is ________________________ in God.

The 2
Selah’s help outline the Psalm neatly into three 4 verse sections.

God keeps
me _______________________ when others want to topple me                                      V. 1-4

What 3
things does David say God is for him in verse 2?

What kind of
position does David describe himself in in verse 4?

In contrast
to the strong tower of refuge that God is for David, the things his enemies are
relying on are ‘leaning walls,’ ‘tottering fences’ that easily ______________________
over.

What
indications do we have in verse 4 that some of these people who would do David
harm have been close to him before?

God will
keep you who ___________________ Him from falling over also                                          V. 5-8

Verses 1-2
are almost identical with verses 5-6.

When you
pray, do you have a sense of _________________________ of what God is going to
do in your life?

Like David
let’s ______________________ what God is to us!

David calls
the nation to have the same kind of trust in God that he had, and to be in
constant prayer to the God their _________________________ come from.

The ___________________
of trusting in anyone but God                                                                            V. 9-12

In verse 9
David brings to mind a scales you weigh things on. We are more impressed by
people the world calls “somebodies” than by people the world calls “nobodies.”
But neither has the substance to _______________________ the scales when
compared to God.

David has
already said God is our Glory! The root word for Glory is the same root word
for ______________. Compared to people, God has REAL substance, real weight,
real glory!

Wicked
people making wicked decisions will relatively quickly lead to ___________________
of eternal significance – stick with God.

Note the
once-twice device David uses in verse 11. This is a memory device in Hebrew.
Two-Three occurs in Dt. 17:6; Three-Four occurs in Proverbs & Amos;
Six-Seven occurs in Prov. 6:16. 

David
emphasizes 2 key truths about God they can trust in and build their lives
around: his power and His mercy.

Notice the
Psalm doesn’t end there, though – it ends with a helpful reminder that we will
each render an _____________________ to God for how we have lived – so live by
trust in God, not by compromises made with the world.
