22 Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and *he* will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring [it] to pass;
having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
Be careful about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.
though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.
He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.
Be not therefore careful, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we put on? for all these things the nations seek after; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not careful therefore for the morrow, for the morrow shall be careful about itself. Sufficient to the day [is] its own evil.
He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.
Wait for Jehovah; be strong and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait for Jehovah.
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.
As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give them life eternal; and they shall never perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand. My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father. I and the Father are one.

Commentary on Psalms 55 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 55
It is the conjecture of many expositors that David penned this psalm upon occasion of Absalom's rebellion, and that the particular enemy he here speaks of, that dealt treacherously with him, was Ahithophel; and some will therefore make David's troubles here typical of Christ's sufferings, and Ahithophel's treachery a figure of Judas's, because they both hanged themselves. But there is nothing in it particularly applied to Christ in the New Testament. David was in great distress when he penned this psalm.
In singing this psalm we may, if there be occasion, apply it to our own troubles; if not, we may sympathize with those to whose case it comes nearer, foreseeing that there will be, at last, indignation and wrath to the persecutors, salvation and joy to the persecuted.
