Psalm 60:11
“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 60Meaning
The line challenges self-sufficient confidence, especially in a psalm shaped by military defeat. It does not say that human assistance is useless in every ordinary sense; rather, it refuses to make human power ultimate.
Read carefully
The verse critiques ultimate reliance on human strength; it does not prohibit wise use of ordinary human help.
Reflection
Use appropriate human help while refusing to treat any resource as infallible, sufficient, or worthy of ultimate trust.
