Bitachon 214 - Don't Put Faith in Humans

We continue our study together of the passuk in Tehillim Chapter 118 passuk 9, which speaks of how we are better off trusting in Hashem than in humans, but this time it refers to them as 'generous ones.' One understanding of this is that we must trust in Hashem that we not come to trust in humans, for trusting in humans is a recipe for disaster! 

Alternatively, it means that we must completely trust in Hashem even when we must come to others for help. The human being is no more than Hashem's messenger.
