22 Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Though he stumble, he shall not fall, For Yahweh holds him up with his hand.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
"Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress-- I will never be greatly shaken.
Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.
My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, While they continually ask me, "Where is your God?" Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, The saving help of my countenance, and my God.
He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand. 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.
