Trust
By: Joyce C. Lock
They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
Psalm 125:1-2
The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust. As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And the Lord shall help them and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth. But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God.
My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust. For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.
The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
