Psalms 146:3

Psa 146:3 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.
