Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 146 of Psalms. Psalm 146 inaugurates the final series of hymns that begin and end with Hallelujah. The psalmist warns against trusting in princes and human beings because their lives are fleeting. In contrast, God remains faithful and acts specifically on behalf of the oppressed, hungry, prisoners, blind, foreigners, orphans, and widows. Divine justice is manifested in his care for those without power, while his kingdom remains forever.

Verlaßt euch nicht auf Fürsten; sie sind Menschen, die können ja nicht helfen.
No confiéis en los príncipes, Ni en hijo de hombre, porque no hay en él salud.
No confíen en los nobles ni en el ser humano, en quien no hay salvación.
Ne vous confiez pas aux grands, Aux fils de l'homme, qui ne peuvent sauver.
Non vi confidate in principi, Nè in alcun figliuol d’uomo, che non ha modo di salvare.
Não confieis em príncipes, nem em filho de homem, em quem não há salvação.
你們不要倚靠君王,不要倚靠世人, 他一點也不能幫助。
