Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah 17: 5-8 (KJV)
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
Psalm 60:11 (KJV)
Lord Jesus, our precious,
beloved Savior, name above
all names, save us from those
who are cruel, merciless, slanderous
from those who outwardly act like
our friends but in reality they are
like ravenous wolves who seek
to lie, kill, and destroy. Save us
for you, Lord, are our only hope,
rock, fortress, defender, and joy.
You alone are our glimmer and source
of all our exhilaration, blessedness,
glory, triumph, comfort, blissfulness,
jubilance, enjoyment, and exultation!
Lord save us for vain is the help
of man. Blessed is the man or woman
who makes their Triune God their only,
only hope, and trust! How truly blessed
are they who are true sons and daughters
of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
