Psalms 33:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.

16 No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.

17 A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.

18 Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion

19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
