Psalms 33:16-17
Psalms 33:16-17 The Message (MSG)
No king succeeds with a big army alone, no warrior wins by brute strength. Horsepower is not the answer; no one gets by on muscle alone.
Psalms 33:16-17 King James Version (KJV)
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: A mighty man is not delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
Psalms 33:16-17 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
Psalms 33:16-17 New Century Version (NCV)
No king is saved by his great army. No warrior escapes by his great strength. Horses can’t bring victory; they can’t save by their strength.
Psalms 33:16-17 American Standard Version (ASV)
There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.
Psalms 33:16-17 New International Version (NIV)
No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
Psalms 33:16-17 New King James Version (NKJV)
No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
Psalms 33:16-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)
The king is not saved by the great size of his army; A warrior is not rescued by his great strength. A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
Psalms 33:16-17 New Living Translation (NLT)
The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior. Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory— for all its strength, it cannot save you.
Psalms 33:16-17 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Even if a king had the best-equipped army, it would never be enough to save him. Even if the best warrior went to battle, he could not be saved simply by his strength alone. Human strength and the weapons of man are false hopes for victory; they may seem mighty, but they will always disappoint.
