Bebe's interpretation
This verse emphasizes that it is better to take refuge in the Lord than to rely on human beings, no matter how powerful or influential they may be. As believers, we can find comfort and security in knowing that God is our rock and our salvation and that He is always faithful to those who trust in Him.
In the Bible, we learn that the fear of the Lord is more powerful than any other fear or weakness we may experience. Having a trusting faith in God can dispel the fears that haunt us at night and shield us from the arrows of adversity that assail us during the day. However, if we allow ourselves to be trapped by the fear of people and the dread of what they can do to us, we may find ourselves in great danger. 
Although we trust in the Lord, it doesn't necessarily mean that we will not encounter hardships and perilous situations in life. However, we can take comfort in the fact that He has already overcome the world, and we have the assurance that His grace is enough to sustain us through any difficulty we might face.
