Here troubles are spoken of as if they were burdens that people have to carry. Trusting God to help us when we have troubles is spoken of as putting our burdens on him so that he can carry them for us. Alternate translation: "Give Yahweh your problems" or "Trust God to help you with all your troubles like someone who trusts a stronger person to carry his load" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

A person who is about to be severely harmed by some sort of disaster is spoken of as if he is tottering or swaying and is about to fall down.
