1. Man's inability to save 146:1-4
hide text
146:1-2 The writer vowed to praise God the rest of his life.
146:3-4 He then warned against placing trust in human officials. They will die and their plans will perish with them. At death the spirit separates from the body, which returns to dust. Therefore it is foolish to put too much hope in what people can do.
