Psalm 33:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ A king isn’t saved just because his army is big.
    A soldier doesn’t escape just because he is very strong.
¹⁷ People can’t trust a horse to save them either.
    Though it is very strong, it can’t save them.
¹⁸ But the Lord looks with favor on those who respect him.
    He watches over those who put their hope in his faithful love.
