waiteth--literally, "is silent," trusts submissively and confidently as a servant.
The titles applied to God often occur (Psa 9:9; Psa 18:2).
be greatly moved-- (Psa 10:6). No injury shall be permanent, though devised by enemies.
Their destruction will come; as a tottering wall they already are feeble and failing.
bowing wall shall ye be--better supply "are." Some propose to apply these phrases to describe the condition of "a man"--that is, the pious suffer: thus, "Will ye slay him," &c.; but the other is a good sense.
his excellency--or, elevation to which God had raised him (Psa 4:2). This they try to do by lies and duplicity (Psa 5:9).
(Compare Psa 62:1-2).
not be moved--not at all; his confidence has increased.
rock of my strength--or strongest support (Psa 7:10; Psa 61:3).
pour out your heart--give full expression to feeling (Sa1 1:15; Job 30:16; Psa 42:4).
ye people--God's people.

once; twice--(as in Job 33:14; Job 40:5), are used to give emphasis to the sentiment. God's power is tempered by His mercy, which it also sustains.
for thou renderest--literally, "that Thou renderest," &c., connected with "I heard this," as the phrase--"that power," &c. [Psa 62:11] --teaching that by His power He can show both mercy and justice.
