Worldview Bible Commentary: Psalm 118:8, 9 - Humanism
“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."
In these verses the Psalmist asserts that humanism is not the way to go. He says that it is better to trust in the LORD than it is to trust in mankind’s ingenuity, scientific prowess, utopian hopes, and dreams of inherent human goodness that truly does not exist this side of the heavenly estate.
