Psalms 55:22 Context
20He hath put foorth his handes against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his couenant. 21The words of his mouth were smoother then butter, but warre was in his heart: his words were softer then oyle, yet were they drawen swords. 22Cast thy burden vpon the Lord, and he shall sustaine thee: hee shall neuer suffer the righteous to bee moued. 23But thou, O God, shalt bring them downe into the pit of destruction: Bloody and deceitfull men shall not liue out halfe their dayes, but I will trust in thee.

Wesley's Notes for Psalms 55:22
55:22 Burden - All thy crosses, and cares, and fears, lay them upon the Almighty, by faith and prayer. He directs this speech to his own soul, and to all good men in like circumstances. Suffer - As he doth wicked men. Tho' he may for a season suffer them to be shaken, yet not to be overwhelmed.
