Contradiction with Proverbs 28:26
While Psalms 84:5 emphasizes the strength and blessedness found in trusting God's ways, Proverbs 28:26 warns against trusting in one's own heart, implying reliance on God's understanding rather than personal strength.
Proverbs 28:26: He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5
This verse warns against trusting in man and makes a stark contrast with the blessed state of those whose strength is in God as highlighted in Psalms 84:5.
Jeremiah 17:5: Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Contradiction with Isaiah 31:1
Whereas Psalms 84:5 talks about blessings for those whose strength is in God, Isaiah 31:1 criticizes those who seek help and strength from Egypt (symbolizing worldly assistance) rather than looking to the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 31:1: Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Contradiction with Matthew 26:41
Jesus advises vigilance and prayer to counteract human weakness, contrasting the idea of inherent strength that comes from having one's strength in God as stated in Psalms 84:5.
Matthew 26:41: He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
