It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man

Psalm 118-1:29
His love endures forever!
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the lord than to trust in princes. man's help, prince's power.
In my anguish I cried to the Lord he answered by setting me free. I was pushed back an about to fall but the Lord helped me.
The Lord is with me; he is my helper. What can man do to me?
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
The Lord has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
You are my God, and I will give you thanks; I will exalt you, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Victory hymn. The hymn was sung in procession by king, priest and people.
As they approach the Temple, the king recalls the victory won with God's help.
The processing, carrying branches, moves from the gateway to the altar.
Why?
The relationship between me and Lord: He is my God, my strength,my song and my salvation, my helper.
The Lord disciplines me but he doesn't give me over to death. He helps me grow up in my life.
Every day is the Lord made, let us rejoice and be grad for he is good. I am glad for the Lord is my God, his love endures forever, he sets me free.
The stone: The despised nation of Israel has become the great power. By Jesus's day Israel, in turn, had forfeited喪失 their privileged position.
How?
The Lord is my helper. What can man do to me? If I fear the Lord, walking on his way. I will give thanks to God, exalt his name, more important to me is trust in the Lord.
