בָּטַח
(1) to confide in any one, to set one’s hope and confidence upon any one. (Ch. and Samar. id., but of rare occurrence. Arab. بطح to throw one down on his back, to throw in the face; whence Heb. בָּטַח בְּ perhaps pr. to throw oneself or one’s cares on any one; compare נָּלַל עַל Psalms 22:9). Followed by בְּ Proverbs 11:28; Psalms 28:7 עַל 2 Kings 18:20, 21 2 Kings 18:21, 24 2 Kings 18:24 אֶל Psalms 4:6, 31:7. Sometimes with a dat. pleon. Jeremiah 7:4, אַל־תִּבְטְחוּ לָבֶם אֶל־דִּבְרֵי הַשֶּׁקֶר “set not your hope in lying words.” Jeremiah 7:8; 2 Kings 18:21. It is rarely put absol. Job 6:20. In such cases, it is mostly equivalent to
(2) to be secure, to fear nothing for oneself. Judges 18:7, 10 Judges 18:10, 27 Judges 18:27; Jeremiah 12:5.

Opp. to רַע יֵרוֹעַ. And so
(a) it is used in a good sense of the security of the righteous, Isaiah 12:2; Proverbs 28:1; Job 11:18.
(b) in a bad sense, of men who set all their hope and confidence in worldly things, and do not fear God and the Divine displeasure. Isaiah 32:9, 10 Isaiah 32:10, 11 Isaiah 32:11; Proverbs 14:16. Comp. שַׁאֲנָן, שָׁלָה, שַׁלְוָה.-Part. בָּטוּחַ trusting, with an active signification, Isaiah 26:3, כִּי בְךָ בָּטוּחַ “because he trusteth in thee;” Psalms 112:7.
