Mind
Whose mind Is STEADFAST
Steadfast Defined
סָמַך (sāmak) lean upon, lay, put, uphold, support. (ASV, RSV similarly.)
The primary meaning of the root is “to lean upon,” in distinction to its synonyms tāmak (q.v.), which basically means “grasp,” “lay hold of” and sā˓ad “sustain.”
The best known use of this root is in the laying on of hands. In the Levitical regulations regarding the sacrificial offerings, the offerer brought his proper sacrificial animal in person and laid his hand upon its head, thus expressing identification with the offering, its surrender to God and in the case of guilt, its transfer to the animal (cf. specifically Lev 16:21).

STEADFAST:
1514 סָמַך (sāmak) lean upon, lay, put, uphold, support. (ASV, RSV similarly.)
The primary meaning of the root is “to lean upon,” in distinction to its synonyms tāmak (q.v.), which basically means “grasp,” “lay hold of” and sā˓ad “sustain.”
The best known use of this root is in the laying on of hands. In the Levitical regulations regarding the sacrificial offerings, the offerer brought his proper sacrificial animal in person and laid his hand upon its head, thus expressing identification with the offering, its surrender to God and in the case of guilt, its transfer to the animal (cf. specifically Lev 16:21).
The laying on of hands on the sacrificial animal figured prominently in the regulations for the service of consecration and dedication to the priesthood (Lev 8; cf. Ex 29), a ceremony replete with spiritual application to the ministry of Christ (cf. Heb 10:19–23) and of those called to be his ministers (I Tim 4:14; II Tim 1:6).
The root can also involve the idea of support (Amos 5:19). The Israelites were to learn not to trust in man or nation (II Kgs 18:21; Ezk 30:6), but in God who by his power (Ps 37:24) and word (Ps 119:116) upholds the righteous (Ps 37:17). So will the believer dwell in safety and surety (Ps 3:5 [H 6]) all his life (Ps 71:6) despite those times when he may fall (Ps 145:14).

A steadfast mind TRUSTS:
trust (cf. Arabic بَطَحَ (baṭaḥa) to throw one down upon his face Thes, اِنْبَطَحَ (˒inbaṭaḥa) lie extended on the ground, ‘se reposer sur quelqu’un’ Fl MV)—Qal Pf. בָּטַח ψ 28:7 + 35 times; Impf. יִבְטַח Jb 40:23 + 27 times; Imv. בְּטַח ψ 37:3 + 8 times; Inf. abs. בָּטוֹחַ Is 59:4, cstr. בְּטֹחַ ψ 118:8 + 2 times; Pt. בֹּטֵחַ ψ 21:8 + 35 times; pass. בָּטוּחַ ψ 112:7 Is 26:3. i. trust. 1. abs. Is 12:2. 2. with cogn. acc. מה הבטחון הזה אשׁר בטחת what is this trust that thou dost trust?[9]
982 בָּטוּחַ, בָּטַח, בָּטַח [batach /baw·takh/] v. A primitive root; TWOT 233; GK 1052 and 1053 and 1054; 120 occurrences; AV translates as “trust” 103 times, “confidence” four times, “secure” four times, “confident” twice, “bold” once, “careless” once, “hope” once, “hoped” once, “ones” once, “sure” once, and “women” once. 1 to trust. 1a (Qal). 1a1 to trust, trust in. 1a2 to have confidence, be confident. 1a3 to be bold. 1a4 to be secure. 1b (Hiphil). 1b1 to cause to trust, make secure. 2 (TWOT) to feel safe, be careless.
[10]
233 בָּטַח (bāṭaḥ) I, trust in, feel safe, be confident, careless. (ASV similar. RSV Usually similar but occasionally “rely on.”)
Derivatives
233a בֶּטַח (beṭaḥ) safety.
233b בִּטְחָה (biṭĕḥâ) trust.
233c בִּטָּחוֹן (biṭṭāḥôn) confidence.
233d בַּטֻּחוֹת (baṭṭūḥôt) security.
233e מִבְטַח (mibṭaḥ) trust.
This is one of two words used in the ot to express trust or reliance upon, the other being ḥāsâ (q.v.). There is no clear cognate in the other Semitic languages although KB sees a connection with Arabic baṭaḥa “to be stretched out, taut” (cf. especially the VII stem). The basic idea would then have to do with firmness or solidity. Be that as it may, in Hebrew, bāṭaḥ expresses that sense of well-being and security which results from having something or someone in whom to place confidence. It is significant that the LXX never translates this word with πιστευω “believe in” but with ελπιζω “to hope,” in the positive sense “to rely on God” or πειφομαι “to be persuaded,” for the negative notion for relying on what turns out to be deceptive. This would seem to indicate that bāṭaḥ does not connote that full-orbed intellectual and volitional response to revelation which is involved in “faith,” rather stressing the feeling of being safe or secure. Likewise, all the derivatives have the same meaning “to feel secure,” “be unconcerned.”
[The word bāṭaḥ has an ambivalent connotation when used of human relationships. The folk “living at ease” with their neighbors suffered for their credulity and gullibility, while those taking advantage of their careless posture are censured: cf. the false security of the Shechemites vs. the cruelty of Levi and Simeon (Gen 34:25), of Israel vs. Gog (Ezk 38:10–11). Proverbs 3:29 explicitly warns against taking advantage of a trusting neighbor. b.k.w.]
In general, the ot contrasts the validity of that sense of confidence which comes from reliance upon God with the folly of any other kind of security. It is made plain that all such trust will end in disgrace and shame (Ps 31:14 [H 15], see bôš), whereas those whose hope is in God alone will be delivered from their enemies (Ps 22:4 [H 5]); their prayers will be answered (I Chr 5:20); they will walk in straight paths (Prov 3:5); will be given joy and gladness (Ps 16:9; 33:21); will know inner peace and absence of fear (Ps 4:8 [H 9]; Isa 26:3); etc. Hence, the repeated admonition to trust in the Lord (Prov 16:20; Isa 30:15; Jer 17:7).
The Psalms, which show the largest number of occurrences (50 out of a total of 181), are most consistently expressive of the values of trust in God. They also make the point that the cause for hope is not in one’s merit with God or in some sort of “tit-for-tat” arrangement, but only because of God’s ḥesed (q.v.), his unswerving loyalty, his gracious kindness. Ezekiel 33:13 makes it plain that no one dare hope for life on the basis of his own righteousness and Jer 7:4, 8, 14 show the folly of trusting in sacred formulas and structures. In this sense the ot foreshadows the nt in its proclamation that there is hope for those who accept God’s gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
This hope in God is not a sort of querulous wishing, but a confident expectation. Unlike the pagan religions where unremitted anxiety was the rule, the Hebrew religion knew a God whose chief characteristic was faithfulness and trustworthiness (Deut 33:28; I Sam 12:11; Ps 27:3). This contrast between anxiety and confidence becomes all the more striking when one recalls that the pagan was never left without mechanisms whereby he felt he had some control over his destiny, while the devout Hebrew knew himself to be utterly without personal resources. But better to be utterly dependent on a gracious and dependable God, than left to one’s own devices in a sea of fickle gods, vengeful demons, and inscrutable magical forces. In view of these facts God’s sovereign control of man’s destiny and God’s total dependability, putting one’s confidence in anything but God is seen to be utterly groundless. However, trust in God is not an automatic guarantee of protection from any and all harm. Nor is refusal to trust God necessarily the road to poverty and deprivation. In the face of his comforters’ bland assurances, Job points out these apparent contradictions in some biting sarcasms (12:6; 24:23). Yet, even Job in his anguish must admit that any other source of security is ultimately valueless (31:24; cf. 39:11; cf. also Isa 50:10).
The ot considers these sources of false security in some detail in order to show by contrast the excellence of hope in God. The list includes man (Ps 118:8; 146:3; Prov 25:19; Jer 17:5); wickedness (Isa 47:10); violence and oppression (Ps 55:23 [H 24]; 62:10 [H 11]; Isa 30:12); riches (Ps 49:6 [H 7]; 52:7 [H 9]; Prov 11:28); idols (Ps 31:6 [H 7]; 115:8; Isa 42:17; Hab 2:18); military power (Deut 28:52; Ps 44:6 [H 7]; Isa 31:1; Jer 5:17; Hos 10:13); religion (Jer 7:4, 8, 14); one’s own righteousness (Ezk 33:13; Hos 10:13); foreign alliances (Isa 36:4ff; Ezk 29:16). In particular the Bible heaps scorn upon those who live in complacency, never having evaluated the flimsy basis for such complacency (Isa 32:9–11; Ezk 30:9; Amos 6:1).
Perhaps the place where the central issues revolving around bāṭaḥ are seen most clearly in a brief compass is II Kgs 18 and 19 where the Assyrian Rabshakeh challenges the worth of Hezekiah’s trust in God and where that trust is fully vindicated. The word occurs 20 times here and in the parallel passages (Isa 36–37; II Chr 32). In human relations, only one area of trust is commended: a husband in a wife of noble character (Prov 31:1 I, NIV).
