Psalms 118:8

⁴Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

⁵The LORD says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, relies on strength of flesh, and whose heart departs from the LORD. ⁶For he will be like a bush in the desert, and will not see when good comes, but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, an uninhabited salt land. ⁷“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose confidence is in the LORD.

⁸Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah. ⁹Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

⁵Don’t trust in a neighbor. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth! ⁶For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house. ⁷But as for me, I will look to the LORD. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
