Psalms 118:8
Compare all
6 aThe Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me? 
7 aThe Lord is for me among those who help me;
Therefore bI shall see my desire on those who hate me. 
8 aIt is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in man. 
9 aIt is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in princes. 
10 All nations surrounded me,
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
11 They asurrounded me,
Yes, they surrounded me;
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

Psalm 118:5-14

Look at the tremendous confidence that is shown here, even though he might have appeared to be overwhelmed by problems—problems that were hitting him from every angle. God was aware. And He wants us to know that in all of our adversity, that adversity is dwarfed into insignificance by our relationship to the One who helps—to the One who provides refuge; to the One who gives victory.

The name, the nature, the character of the Lord was sufficiently powerful to overcome it, because the psalmist believed what God said, and he therefore relied on Him to be the resolution of the problems.
