Psalm 118:8

“But, when my enemies have been brought to contempt, let not my friend present himself unto me as a good man, so as to bid me repose my hope in himself: for “It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put any confidence in man” (ver. 8).” — the author cites it

“It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.”” — editor's note: Ps. cxviii. 8, 9.

“Whereas in Psalm cxvii. it is said: “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man; it is better to trust in the Lord than to place hope in princes.”” — editor's note: Ps. cxviii. 8, 9.

““Therefore,” says he, “let no man glory in man;” an injunction which is in accordance with the teaching of the Creator, “wretched is the man that trusteth in man;” again, “It is better to trust in the Lord than to confide in man;” and the same thing is said about glorying (in princes).” — editor's note: Ps. cxviii. 8.

“Also in the same place: “It is good to trust in the Lord rather than to trust in man; it is good to hope in the Lord rather than to hope in princes.”” — editor's note: Ps. cxviii. 8.
