Psalms 55 — Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord

Summary

Give ear to my prayer, O God. Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; but it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Key verse

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

— Psalm 55:22

Outline

Verse-by-verse
22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Cast. The verb is forceful — throw. Do not gradually transfer; throw it on Him.

Sustain. Not remove necessarily; sustain through. The burden may stay; the bearing is His.
