TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Trusting God in the Psalms

The Lord’s love leads people to trust in him (13:5; 17:7; 21:7; 32:10; 36:7; 52:8; 143:8). His name and reputation also encourage people’s trust (9:10; 20:7; 33:21). The godly reject idolatry and any commitment that detracts from their absolute trust in the Lord (31:6, 14; 44:6; 49:6-13; 52:7). Trust in the Lord is a form of wisdom that rejects folly and evil and pursues the Lord’s way (31:19; 37:3, 5; 115:11).

For the godly, every adversity in life is an occasion for growth in trust (9:9; 25:2; 46:1; 55:23; 57:1; 59:16; 62:8; 78:7). The godly are not afraid of life’s circumstances (56:3-4, 11; 112:7) but grow more confident in the midst of them (112:7; 125:1).

The Lord rescues, cares for, and rewards his people who trust in him (see 7:1; 16:1; 25:20; 26:1; 31:1-2, 4, 19; 34:22; 37:39-40; 86:2). They are blessed (2:12; 22:4-5; 34:8; 40:4; 84:12) as they long for God’s redemption (37:7, 34; 38:15; 40:1; 119:166; 130:5-6). Faith in the Lord gives reason to rejoice and praise the Lord (5:11; 18:30-36; 28:7; 40:3; 56:4; 64:10).
