Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
The Hebrew verb means to give, not burden, so the strict rendering is 'cast thy gift upon the Lord', what He allots you, whether prosperity or adversity, you return to Him. Most interpreters feel compelled to invent the word 'burden' from the harshness of the true translation, but the pious sentiment is right: we ought to disburden ourselves before God of all cares that oppress us.
AI summary
His wisdom casts thy lot on thee; thy wisdom is to cast it back on Him. Accept thy portion of suffering with cheerful resignation and take it to Him by assured confidence. He sustains thee with bread and strength. The righteous may sway like tree boughs in tempest, but God will never suffer him to be torn up by the roots, he stands firm who stands in God.
AI summary
Whoever calls on the Lord in a right manner shall be saved. Pray fervently, with all that is within you, and pray often: evening, morning, and at noon. Those who neglect acquaintance with God until trouble comes lose the benefit of constant practice; the wheels of prayer must be already turning when distress finds you.
