Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
Others rely on their resources; God’s people remember His name.
KJV4Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. 5We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions. 6Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. 7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. 8They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. 9Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
Israel’s prayer book: songs of trust, lament, thanks and praise, many of them by David.
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
Abraham set out without knowing where he was going. Trust often moves before the map is clear.
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
After asking God how long, the psalmist ends with trust in His mercy. Both belong in prayer.
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Hand your way over to God and keep trusting Him; the psalm is about waiting patiently for Him to act.
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
An honest prayer for frightening moments: when I am afraid, I will trust in You.
