- But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you. - It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in people. - Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. - I praise God for what he has promised.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me? - Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,
but we boast in the name of the Lord our God. - Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you. - The Lord is good,
a strong refuge when trouble comes.
He is close to those who trust in him. - Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.
- Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take. - Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. - You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you! - Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him. - Keep me safe, O God,
for I have come to you for refuge. - Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
for I give myself to you. - Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.

don’t let me be disgraced.
Save me, for you do what is right. - For the word of the Lord holds true,
and we can trust everything he does. - But I trust in your unfailing love.

All the Lord’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. - God’s way is perfect.

our heart’s desire is to glorify your name. - I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit.Get wisdom; develop good judgment.
Don’t forget my words or turn away from them. Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!
Tie them around your neck as a reminder.
Write them deep within your heart.
Then you will find favor with both God and people,
and you will earn a good reputation.Next verse!With image
