Psalms 33:16–22
Kings and warriors are not saved by their own strength or their horses, but by the eye of the Lord which watches over those who hope in His love.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18 Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.
Kings and warriors are not saved by their own strength or their horses, but by the eye of the Lord which watches over those who hope in His love.
To deconstruct trust in human and military strength and to re-establish the LORD's providential oversight and unfailing love as the only true source of security and joy.
Rejoicing in the LORD's Creative Word and Covenant Care
The righteous rejoice and wait in hope because the LORD's faithful word creates, governs, sees, frustrates human pride, and delivers those who fear Him.
