Psalms 33:17

Compare all

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.

Psalms 33:17

A horse is a vain thing for safety - Even the horse, with all his fleetness, is no sure means of escape from danger: the lion or the tiger can overtake him or he may stumble, fall, and destroy his rider.
