Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Commit [thyself] unto Jehovah; Let him deliver him: Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him." — Psalms 22:8 (ASV)

He trusted.—The Septuagint renders it this way . So, too, Ewald among moderns. But generally, the form gol (short for gôl) is taken as an imperative. Literally, roll yourself on God (Proverbs 16:3, margin).
