Psalms 33:17-18
Psalms 33:16-19 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. Watch this: God’s eye is on those who respect him, the ones who are looking for his love. He’s ready to come to their rescue in bad times; in lean times he keeps body and soul together.
Psalms 33:17-18 King James Version (KJV)
An horse is a vain thing for safety: Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his mercy
Psalms 33:17-18 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness
Psalms 33:17-18 New Century Version (NCV)
Horses can’t bring victory; they can’t save by their strength. But the LORD looks after those who fear him, those who put their hope in his love.
Psalms 33:17-18 American Standard Version (ASV)
A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power. Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness
Psalms 33:17-18 New International Version (Anglicised) (NIVUK)
A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love
Psalms 33:17-18 New King James Version (NKJV)
A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy
Psalms 33:17-18 Amplified Bible (AMP)
A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. ¶Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness
Psalms 33:17-18 New Living Translation (NLT)
Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory— for all its strength, it cannot save you. But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.
Psalms 33:17-18 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Human strength and the weapons of man are false hopes for victory; they may seem mighty, but they will always disappoint. The eyes of the Lord are upon even the weakest worshipers who love him— those who wait in hope and expectation for the strong, steady love of God.
