- "The psalmist calls for trust and refuge in God (vv. 9-10; cf. 52.7) intensifying a thought already expressed in Psalm 61 and looking forward to Psalm 63, through the word nephesh, (?life, self?, NRSV: ?soul?) and the ?silence? motif (v. 1; cf. Ps. 65.1). Psalm 63 has a strong sense of comfort and assurance following the waiting of Psalm 62."
