Psalm 118:9

“It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in a prince; that he who glorieth, should glory in the Lord.” — editor's note: Ps. cxviii. 9.

““It is” therefore “better to trust in the Lord, than to put any confidence in princes” (ver. 9).” — 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.

“…He only follows out the Creator’s course, who calls ambitious persons of this character “rulers of Sodom,” who forbids us “to put confidence even in princes,” and pronounces him to be altogether wretched who places his confidence in man.” — editor's note: Ps. cxviii. 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. 9.

“So says the Creator’s Psalmist: “It is better to hope in the Lord, than to hope even in princes.”” — editor's note: Ps. cxviii. 9.
