Psalms 33:16-18 in English

¹⁷ A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.

¹⁸ Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;

¹⁶ The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer:

¹⁷ but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord hearkened to them,

¹⁸ and delivered them out of all their afflictions.

¹⁶ There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

¹⁷ An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

¹⁶ but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord listened to them,

¹⁷ and delivered them out of all their afflictions.

¹⁸ The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.

¹⁶ There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

¹⁷ An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great power.

¹⁸ Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

¹⁶ It is not because a king has a great army that he is able to win battles, and it is not because a soldier is very strong that he is able to defeat his enemy.

¹⁷ It is foolish to trust that because horses are very strong that they will able to win a battle and save their riders.

¹⁸ Do not forget that Yahweh watches over those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to faithfully love them.

¹⁶ but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord listened to them,

¹⁷ and delivered them out of all their afflictions.

¹⁸ The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.

¹⁶ Even the greatest army cannot save a king; the greatest strength cannot save a warrior.

¹⁶ A king is not saved by much virtue, that is, strength; and a giant shall not be saved in the muchliness of his virtue.

¹⁷ An horse is false to health; for-sooth he shall not be saved in the abundance, either plenty, of his virtue.

¹⁸ Lo! the eyes of the Lord be on men dreading him; and in them that hope in his mercy.

¹⁶ A king is not saved by much virtue, that is, strength; and a giant shall not be saved in the muchliness of his virtue. (A king is not saved by his large host, or his army; and a mighty man shall not be saved by his great strength.)

¹⁷ An horse is false to health; forsooth he shall not be saved in the abundance, either plenty, of his virtue. (A horse is an empty thing for salvation, or deliverance; for it shall not be able to save anyone by the abundance, or the plentifulness, of its strength.)

¹⁸ Lo! the eyes of the Lord be on men dreading him; and in them that hope in his mercy. (Behold! the eyes of the Lord (be) upon those who fear, (or who obey, him); and upon those who hope for his mercy./Behold! the eyes of the Lord (be) upon those who revere him; and upon those who trust in his love.)

¹⁶ The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

¹⁷ A false thing is the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

¹⁸ Lo, the eye of Jehovah is to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
