Psalm 5522

Psalm 55:22 is a verse from the Book of Psalms in the Hebrew Bible, which is part of the Christian Old Testament. The verse reads: "Cast your burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved." In Hebrew, this verse is written as: "הַשְׁלִיכַ עָלָיו יְהוָה וְהוּא יִסְעָדֶךָ; לְעוֹלָם לֹא יַתַּע אֶת-צַדִּיק." The verse is often interpreted as an encouragement to trust in God during times of trouble and to relinquish one's burdens to Him. This passage is part of a larger psalm attributed to King David, which expresses his distress and his plea for God's intervention. The context of Psalm 55 suggests that David is facing betrayal and deceit from close associates, and the verse serves as a reminder of God's unwavering support. The phrase has been translated into various languages, such as Latin: "Projectum tuum super Dominum et ipse te enutriet; in aeternum non commovebit justum," and German: "Würf deine Sorge auf den Herrn, der wird dich stützen; Ewigkeitlich wird er den Gerechten nicht wanken lassen." This verse is frequently cited in Christian literature and sermons as a source of comfort and reassurance.
