Late Night Contemplations on Confidence

One of my favorite verses is found in the center of the Bible.  Psalm 118:8.  I do not have a favorite translation of it (which is strange), so I would recommend looking at this link to see several translations of it.

When I recall upon it, this is how I remember it:

"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in men."
(At one point, I thought for sure I had read "men" as "princes," which was something I really liked, but I have yet to find a translation that says that.)

This passage often applies to times when I'm feeling hurt by people, but especially when I feel lonely. 

When I am hurting, feeling alone, or wishing for a hug, this verse reminds me I have Christ.  He will never let me down and is always there to wrap me up in a comforting embrace.  He never lets go.

Afternote added February 12, 2011:  Last night I had a revelation! Two of my favorite verses are found in the center of the Bible.  Psalm 118:8 and Psalm 118:9.  Psalm 118:9 is "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in princes."  Hey, not all of us are perfect! :)  Especially at 12:30am.
