Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help.
Ver. 3. Put not your trust in princes] But in God alone; this being a principal piece of his praise; it is a kind of setting the crown on his head. See Judges 9:15. The word rendered princes signifieth liberal, bountiful ones, ευεργεται, so princes would be accounted; but there is no trusting to them without God, or against him.
Nor in the son of man] The arm of flesh. See Psalms 118:8,9 .
In whom there is no help] For themselves, saith Aben Ezra; much less for others.
