⁸ It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in man.

⁴ Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

⁵ Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.

⁶ 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, a salt land and not inhabited.

⁷ Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.

⁸ Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah

⁹ Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

⁵ Trust ye not in a neighbor; put ye not confidence in a friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

⁶ For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

⁷ But as for me, I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
