Psalms 22:10

     9, 10. Though ironically spoken, the exhortation to trust was well founded on his previous experience of divine aid, the special illustration of which is drawn from the period of helpless infancy.

      didst make me hope—literally, "made me secure."

Psalms 37:5

     5. Commit thy way— (Pr 16:3). Works—what you have to do and cannot set forth as a burden.

      trust . . . in him—literally, "on Him." He will do what you cannot (compare Ps 22:8; 31:6). He will not suffer your character to remain under suspicion.

Psalms 55:22

     22. thy burden—literally, "gift," what is assigned you.

      he shall sustain—literally, "supply food," and so all need (Ps 37:25; Mt 6:11).

      to be moved—from the secure position of His favor (compare Ps 10:6).
