"Trust in the LORD" is correct.

Proverbs 3:5–6 says (roughly): "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." So the father instructs his son to trust God, not rely on his own understanding, and acknowledge God in all his ways. The promise that follows is that God will make his paths straight.
