Psalms 118:8
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Trusting in the Lord surpasses trusting in any human being, no matter how capable.
This verse makes a comparative statement: it is better - more advantageous, wiser, safer - to trust in God than in people. Humans fail, disappoint, and have limited power. God never fails, always keeps His promises, and has unlimited power. This doesn't mean we trust no one, but that our ultimate trust must be in God alone.
