The Confidence of Trust

Commentators explain that being "not put to shame" (or "not confounded") means more than avoiding embarrassment. It describes the confidence of not being disappointed or made to feel foolish for placing your trust in God. While worldly hopes can fail, faith in God is a trust that will ultimately be vindicated because He is never insufficient or deceptive.
