What is it like for our soul to be silent? If our soul is the source of our emotional self then a silent soul could be one that is neither angry or elated. Waiting in silence implies a duration of time when the soul is subdued. I wonder if the psalmist is speaking of a time of fasting? I have encounter times during a fast when I am emotional quiet allowing my spirit to battle the hunger of the flesh. That would lead into the opening phrase:"For God alone...." What will truely satsfy the spiritual cravings we have other then the one who gave us the appetite? The psalmist might have felt that God was always looking for souls that seek to wait silently for God to act.
It took me about 2 minutes to read this psalm.
