'Rely' in the Bible

Asa prayed to the Lord his God: "O Lord, there is no one but you who can help the weak when they are vastly outnumbered. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you and have marched on your behalf against this huge army. O Lord our God, don't let men prevail against you!"

At that time Hanani the prophet visited King Asa of Judah and said to him: "Because you relied on the king of Syria and did not rely on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.

Will you rely on it because its strength is great? Will you commit your labor to it?

Certainly none who rely on you will be humiliated. Those who deal in treachery will be thwarted and humiliated.

Guide me into your truth and teach me. For you are the God who delivers me; on you I rely all day long.

May integrity and godliness protect me, for I rely on you!

Rely on the Lord! Be strong and confident! Rely on the Lord!

Wicked men will be wiped out, but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the land.

Rely on the Lord! Obey his commands! Then he will permit you to possess the land; you will see the demise of evil men.

I will continually thank you when you execute judgment; I will rely on you, for your loyal followers know you are good.

Let none who rely on you be disgraced because of me, O sovereign Lord and king! Let none who seek you be ashamed because of me, O God of Israel!

I rely on the Lord, I rely on him with my whole being; I wait for his assuring word.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.

At that time those left in Israel, those who remain of the family of Jacob, will no longer rely on a foreign leader that abuses them. Instead they will truly rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

For this reason this is what the Holy One of Israel says: "You have rejected this message; you trust instead in your ability to oppress and trick, and rely on that kind of behavior.

Those who go down to Egypt for help are as good as dead, those who rely on war horses, and trust in Egypt's many chariots and in their many, many horsemen. But they do not rely on the Holy One of Israel and do not seek help from the Lord.

Who among you fears the Lord? Who obeys his servant? Whoever walks in deep darkness, without light, should trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.

You rely on your swords and commit abominable deeds; each of you defiles his neighbor's wife. Will you possess the land?'

Do not rely on a friend; do not trust a companion! Don't even share secrets with the one who lies in your arms!
