Psalm 108:12
English Standard Version
12 Oh grant us help against the foe,
for vain is the salvation of man!
Jeremiah 17:5-8
English Standard Version
5 Thus says the Lord:
“Cursed is the man (A)who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,[a]
whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 (B)He is like a shrub in the desert,
(C)and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in (D)an uninhabited salt land.
7 (E)“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
(F)whose trust is the Lord.
8 (G)He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

5 everyone comes to shame
through (E)a people that cannot profit them,
that brings neither help nor profit,
but shame and disgrace.”

May he answer us when we call.
