The casting of the burden on God indicates the psalmist's release of the weight through trust and prayer; the problem is placed before God for divine resolution. The promise that God will sustain the righteous and not allow them to be shaken establishes God's role as the ultimate source of security and stability. The affirmation that the righteous will not be delivered to the desires of their enemies suggests that divine protection is absolutely reliable; God will not permit the enemies' plans to succeed. This verse moves from the articulation of pain and betrayal to the assertion of ultimate security in God's hands.
