Psalms 37:3-7
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown (1871) (public domain).
Commit thy way-- (Pro 16:3). Works--what you have to do and cannot set forth as a burden. trust . . . in him--literally, "on Him." He will do what you cannot (compare Psa 22:8; Psa 31:6). He will not suffer your character to remain under suspicion.
