The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him: Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
