Charles Ellicott Commentary
"My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him [cometh] my salvation." — Psalms 62:1 (ASV)
Waits upon God. —Literally, to God (is) silence my soul. (Psalms 39:2; Psalms 65:1.) The Septuagint and Vulgate, “shall be in subjection to,” which no doubt gives one side of the feeling; but another may be illustrated by Wordsworth’s—
“The holy time is quiet as a nun
Breathless with adoration.”
