Psalms 125:1

⁷“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose confidence is in the LORD. ⁸For he will be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green, and will not be concerned in the year of drought. It won’t cease from yielding fruit.

²He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.

⁵Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. ⁶In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

⁸It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to put confidence in man. ⁹It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to put confidence in princes.

¹In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

²²The LORD redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.

¹⁷“Proclaim further, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies says: “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem.”’”

²My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.

¹I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

²⁰They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered them because they put their trust in him.
