Yeshayahu

^12:2See, G-d is my salvation: since the G-d of my salvation is with me, I will dwell securely and will no longer be afraid.

^12:2For the strength, etc.: the strength and the praise of the Omnipresent became my salvation; that is, the salvation came in order to show His might, and so that I would sing His praise.

^26:3The mind that leans: the thought that was leaning on G-d, peace will guard it, so that it will not tremble; and he doubled the word “peace” to strengthen the matter.

^26:3For it trusts in You: that is, so it is fitting, since it trusted in You.

^26:4Trust in Hashem: as though they urge one another on and say, “Trust in Hashem forever,” for on Him depends the strength of this world and of the World to Come, and everything comes from Him.

Yirmiyahu

^17:5Who trusts in people: that is, and they will not find help from flesh and blood, for “cursed is the man, etc.”

^17:5And makes: and places his strength and his trust in flesh and blood, and turns his heart away from trusting in Hashem.

^17:6He will be: one who trusts in people will be like a lone tree growing in the desert.

^17:6And he will not see: he does not see when good comes to the world, which is the rains; that is, the rains will not fall on him.

^17:6He will live in the parched places: he lives there in the dry places, from the great heat in the wilderness.

^17:6A salty land: a land whose soil is salty and which is not inhabited; and it is the same matter doubled in other words.

^17:7And Hashem will be his security: that is, as he trusts in Him, so will He be his trust and his help.

^17:8He will be like a tree planted: he will be filled with good, like a tree planted by the water, whose roots spread out by streams of water.

^17:8It will not notice: that is, it will not feel it when heat and scorching wind come, since it is planted by the water, which keeps it moist.

^17:8Its leaves will stay fresh: the leaves on it will be moist.

^17:8In a year of drought: in a year when the rains are held back, it will not worry; that is, it will do it no harm.

^17:8It will not stop: it will not cease growing fruit. That is: so will it be with one who trusts in Hashem: he will lack nothing, and he will not worry over the troubles that stir in the world.

Tehillim

^3:6I lay down: when I lie down and fall into a deep sleep from great anguish,

^3:6I woke up: that is, I relieved my anguish, remembering that Hashem supports me.

^3:7I will not be afraid: for this reason I will not be afraid of the great number of people who are with Avshalom, who have set their faces to fight me.

^13:6As for me: always, when I trusted in Your kindness, my heart rejoiced in the salvation that came from You.

^13:6I will sing: now too, I will sing to Hashem when He deals kindly with me.

^22:9One who turns over: but one who rolls and turns his trust over to Hashem, He rescues him.

^22:9For He is pleased with him: with one who trusts in Him as he should.

^31:25Be strong: all who hope to Hashem, be strong and make your hearts courageous, and be confident; for surely you will see that there is hope.

^32:10The wicked have many pains, etc.: for the wicked man who kicks against suffering, many pains come upon him; but one who trusts in Hashem, and understands that they are for his good, for through them sin is scoured away, and does not kick against them, kindness from Hashem surrounds him, for He removes them from him, and he is left clean of sin.

^37:3Trust in Hashem: therefore do not mingle with them; rather, trust in Hashem and do good, and then you will live in the land for long days.

^37:3And be nourished by faith: you will be fed and sustained by the faith with which you believed in Hashem, and did not act like the wicked, to rob and to cheat.

^37:4Take delight [relying] on Hashem: you will enjoy luxuries, relying on the support of Hashem, and He will give you what your heart asks; that is, He will supply what you lack, even in luxuries.

^37:5Turn over to Hashem: roll your need onto Hashem and trust in Him, and He will do what you need.

^37:34Hope to Hashem: that He will rescue you from the hand of the wicked.

^37:34And keep His way: without doing to them as they do.

^40:5Fortunate: and they will say, “Fortunate, etc.”

^40:5And has not turned: to trust in them.

^40:5And those who stray after lies: who incline after thoughts of vanity and falsehood.

^46:2A help in troubles: He is a help to us in a time of trouble, and is very easily found by us whenever we call to Him.

^46:3When the earth is changed: when the earth changes from calm to quaking, and when the mountains move to fall into the depths of the sea; and it is a parable for the downfall of Gog.

^46:4Roar: the waters of the sea roar with their many waves and cast up mire and mud, and the mountains quake continually at the majesty of Hashem; and of all this we will not be afraid.

^46:8Hashem, Master of Legions: because Hashem will be with us, and the G-d of Yaakov is our stronghold forever, and He will not let those who love Him be frightened.

^55:23Cast: David said to his soul: Cast your load on Hashem, and so it will be, for He will carry your load. That is: trust in Him that He will lighten your load from you; and so it will be, for He will never leave the tzaddik to stumble.

^62:9[My] people: you, the children of my people, trust in Him at all times.

^62:9Pour out your hearts before Him: in prayer, for He has always been a refuge for us.

^112:7Of bad news: when bad news is heard in the world, he will not be afraid of it, and his heart will be firm, trusting in Hashem that the evil will not touch him.

^112:8His heart leans: so much will his heart lean on Hashem, and he will not be afraid, until he can turn his mind to look at the evil that comes upon his enemies; for when a person is in fear, he does not turn his mind to see vengeance on his enemies.

^115:9Yisrael: but Yisrael trusts in Hashem, for He has always been their help and their shield; that is, He is to them like a shield to the one who wears it.

^115:11You who fear Hashem: these are the pious of the nations of the world.

^125:1Those who trust in Hashem: those who trust in Hashem are like Har Tziyon, which does not shift from its place, and stays on its base forever.

^131:1My heart was not proud: in the thoughts of my heart I was not proud.

^131:1And my eyes were not raised: in deed, to rule over others too much, raising the eyes upward in the way of the arrogant.

^131:1I did not involve myself in great things: I did not do great and wondrous things in fine buildings and tall towers, to display greatness and honor beyond me; that is, beyond what is needed and fitting for me.

^131:2Truly: אם לא is a form of oath, as if one says, “If I did not do so, let such a punishment come upon me”; he hinted at it and did not say it.

^131:2I have calmed and quieted: I likened my soul to an infant weaned from his mother’s breasts, whose whole trust is on his mother; so is all my trust in Hashem.

^131:2My soul within me is like a weaned child: the soul that is upon me and within me is like the weaned infant; and he doubled the matter to show that it was constant.

^131:3Let Yisrael hope: that is, learn from me and do the same, you too, and hope to Hashem from now and forever.

^146:3Who has no power to save: who has no salvation in his hand.

^146:4His spirit leaves: for when the spirit of life leaves him, he returns to the ground from which he was taken; and on that day all his thoughts are lost, for he is no longer there to carry them out. If so, what is trust in him [worth]?

^146:5His hope: the word “fortunate” serves for both, to say: fortunate is the one whose hope is in Hashem.

^147:11Desires: Hashem desires only those who fear Him; and he goes on to explain that they are those who hope for His kindness, and do not trust in themselves, in the strength of the leg or in the might of the horse; for one who trusts in these removes the fear of Hashem from before him.

Mishlei

^3:5Do not rely: do not think, “I will certainly succeed, since the thing was done with understanding”; for everything is in the hand of Hashem, and not in the hand of man’s understanding.

^3:6In all your ways: in all your affairs, know Hashem; that is, set your mind to do your deeds so that they bring some benefit toward fulfilling the word of Hashem; and then He will lead you on a straight path, and you will succeed in it.

^3:26Your confidence: in that in which you trust and hope to Him; and He will guard your foot from being trapped.

^29:25A person’s fear: the fear a person feels when a bad event comes upon him will add yet another trap for him, for since his heart is not with him, he is likely to stumble over a small thing. But one who trusts in Hashem, and does not fear too much, will grow strong even against the event that has already struck him.

Iyov

^13:15Even if He kills me: that is: do not think that my crying out shows that, because I think my hope is lost, the fear of Hashem has left me on that account; it is not so. For even if He kills me, I will still hope to Him, to delight my soul in spiritual pleasure; and why, then, would fear [of Him] leave me? And all my words are not to defy Him; I only wish to clarify my ways before Him, to weigh them.

Koheles

^9:11I saw again: I saw again in the world that running did not help the swift, for they did not escape the pursuer by their flight.

^9:11The mighty do not win the battle: might did not help the mighty to win the battle.

^9:11Bread does not come to the wise: wisdom did not help the wise to obtain the bread they eat.

^9:11Wealth does not come to those with understanding: understanding did not help those with understanding to obtain wealth.

^9:11Favor does not come to those who know much: knowledge did not help those who know much and varied knowledge to find favor through it in people’s eyes.

^9:11For a time and mishap: a bad time and the blow of death come upon them all, the swift and the mighty, etc.
