Bible Verses About Trust

“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.”

— 2 Samuel 22:3

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart" is the Bible's most quoted trust verse — and the least followed clause is the second one: "lean not unto thine own understanding." The fifteen verses below are the Bible's direct address to that situation, shown in full KJV text from 2 Samuel 22:3 to Proverbs 3:5.

Quick answer: The best-known verse about trust here is 2 Samuel 22:3: "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." Psalms 9:10 follows close behind: "And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." Both are public-domain translations, shown in full on the cards below with a modern-English toggle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Bible verse about trust?
2 Samuel 22:3 is the one most readers land on: "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." Psalms 9:10 is the usual second: "And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." The full list of fifteen is on this page — there is no single required verse, and different seasons call for different texts.
How should a beginner use a list like this?
Start with one verse, not fifteen. Read it aloud once a day for a week — public-domain text, no permission needed, and the copy button will place it wherever you will actually see it. Scripture was written to be heard and repeated; a list like this is a shelf, not a syllabus.
Where in the Bible does it talk about trust?
The verses on this page come from 5 books of the Bible — most notably 2 Samuel, Psalms, Isaiah and 2 more — spanning the Old Testament. The distribution itself is worth noticing: Scripture addresses trust in more than one voice, which is why the page shows whole verses rather than a single proof text.

Read the list once slowly, then keep the one verse that fits your situation close — the copy button places it wherever you will actually see it.
