Psalms 118:8,9 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

It is better to trust in the Lord It is much safer, and more to a person's comfort; than to put confidence in man As mine enemies do in their own numbers, and in their powerful confederates. “Armies of men, however numerous, and, to appearance, powerful, may be routed and dispersed at once: princes may not be able to help us; if able, they may fail us, as not being willing to do it; if both able and willing, they may die ere they can execute their purpose. But that hope which is placed in God, can never, by these or any other means, be disappointed.” Horne.
