Psalms 76:12

Context

76:12 He humbles princes; 1 

the kings of the earth regard him as awesome. 2 

Psalms 118:9

Context

118:9 It is better to take shelter in the Lord

than to trust in princes.

Psalms 146:3

Context

146:3 Do not trust in princes,

or in human beings, who cannot deliver! 3 

1 tn Heb “he reduces the spirit of princes.” According to HALOT 148 s.v. II בצר, the Hebrew verb בָּצַר (batsar) is here a hapax legomenon meaning “reduce, humble.” The statement is generalizing, with the imperfect tense highlighting God’s typical behavior.

2 tn Heb “[he is] awesome to the kings of the earth.”

3 tn Heb “in a son of man, to whom there is no deliverance.”
