Psalm 55:22 - Cast your cares on the LORD

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

Psalm 55:22

Commentary

The word for "burden" implies one's circumstances, one's lot. The psalmist promises that the Lord will uphold the believer in the struggles of life.

I cast my burdens on the Lord,

The Lord sustains them all;

My courage rests upon his word,

That saints shall never fall.
