Psalms 33:16
Compare all
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He1 fashions their hearts individually;
aHe considers all their works. 
16 aNo king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. 
17 aA horse is a1 vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. 
18 aBehold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy, 
19 To deliver their soul from death,
And ato keep them alive in famine. 
20 Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.
