Don't trust in princes

Psalm 118:9 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in princes. 

Psalm 146:3 Don’t put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help. 

There are few princes left in the world. But there are many political, business, entertainment, athletic and other influencers and leaders, avidly desiring followers, so as to stroke their own egos, or advantage themselves. These two verses, from the Psalms, warn against loyalty to such people, against uncritical belief in what they say, against expecting help from them. They certainly warn against worship of such people, rather than following Christ.
