¹ Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion;
    they will not be defeated but will endure forever.

⁷ “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
    and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
⁸ 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.

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

⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
    do not depend on your own understanding.
⁶ Seek his will in all you do,
    and he will show you which path to take.

⁸ It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    than to trust in people.
⁹ It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    than to trust in princes.

²     I trust in you, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
    or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.

¹ I took my troubles to the Lord;
    I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.

²² But the Lord will redeem those who serve him.
    No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
