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

On the war horse (compare Job 39:19-25).

a vain thing—a lie, which deceives us.



Psalms 33:16-17

Men's usual reliances in their greatest exigencies are, in themselves, useless.



Psalms 33:12-19

The inference from the foregoing in Psalms 33:12 is illustrated by God's special providence, underlying which is His minute knowledge of all men.
