22 Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.
Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.
Putting all your troubles on him, for he takes care of you.
Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God. And the peace of God, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed? Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things: But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition. Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.
My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.
Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)
The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God? Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.
My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me: And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand. That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand. I and my 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.
