Psalms 22
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from my cries of anguish?
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
by night, but I find no rest.[b]

3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
you are the one Israel praises.[c]
4 In you our ancestors put their trust;
they trusted and you delivered [saved] them.
5 To you they cried out and were saved;
in you they trusted and were not put to shame. //NOTE: I added [saved]

As we trust in God, He will guide us in the ways of salvation.

2 Corinthians 5:5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
The fact that we have and know we have, beyond any doubt, we the indwelling Holy Spirit, there is very little "trusting" needed.
The problem is there are "Christians", in tittle only, who are not experiencing the Spirit within them, so is He even there?

I would sum it up like this

Rom_4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

abraham believed the promise of God that he would give him an eternal seed

If you believe the promise of Christ that he would give you eternal life through forgiveness of seed you are trusting on him like Abraham did God

In Proverbs 3:1-7, we have a choice between leaning on our own understanding of right and wrong by doing what is right in our own eyes or trusting with all of our heart in God to correctly divide between right and wrong by obeying His instructions in all of our ways and He will make our way straight, so this is what it means to trust God and is how He is saving us. Jesus saves us from our sin (Matthew 1:21) and sin is the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4), so Jesus leading us to be a doer of it is intrinsically the way that he is giving us his gift of saving us from not being a doer of it. The way to put our trust in God's word made flesh is by embodying God's word through following his example of obedience to it.

I think that in regard to trusting in one's salvation, we need to trust in Jesus Christ's finished work on the cross.

It means your hope and trust are in God rather than in yourself or in man. This reverses Adam's distrust of God within us; this is to experience reconciliation with Him again, to place us back into a state of justice, now with God as we're meant to be as opposed to alienated from Him.
"Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, and so your faith and hope are in God." 1 Pet 1:21

When you see Jesus you see God, To the extent that we know Jesus we know God. When we believe in, hope in, and love Jesus we believe in, hope in, and love God. Jesus is the "express image of God" because He is God. And that relationship is your salvation.

"Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." John 17:3
