For the king knows about these things, and I am speaking freely to him, because I cannot believe that any of these things has escaped his notice, for this was not done in a corner.

He gives me the agility of a deer; he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.

He collaborated with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they supported him.

If God puts no trust in his servants and attributes folly to his angels,

Relent, let there be no falsehood; reconsider, for my righteousness is intact!

He is dragged from the security of his tent, and marched off to the king of terrors.

When people are brought low and you say ‘Lift them up!’ then he will save the downcast;

I will lie down and sleep peacefully, for you, Lord, make me safe and secure.

Your loyal followers trust in you, for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek your help.

For the king trusts in the Lord, and because of the sovereign Lord’s faithfulness he is not upended.

To you they cried out, and they were saved; in you they trusted and they were not disappointed.

My God, I trust in you. Please do not let me be humiliated; do not let my enemies triumphantly rejoice over me!

The Lord’s loyal followers receive his guidance, and he reveals his covenantal demands to them.

An evil person suffers much pain, but the Lord’s faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.

Trust in the Lord and do what is right! Settle in the land and maintain your integrity!

Commit your future to the Lord! Trust in him, and he will act on your behalf.

Even my close friend whom I trusted, he who shared meals with me, has turned against me.

Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others.

in God I trust, I am not afraid. What can mere men do to me?

Trust in him at all times, you people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our shelter! (Selah)
