From the Morning Scripture Readings

Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
    the Lord answered me and set me free.
 With the Lord on my side I do not fear.
    What can man do to me?
 The Lord is on my side to help me;
    I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    than to put confidence in man.
 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    than to put confidence in princes.

–Psalm 118:5-9
