The Lord Will

Psalm 147:10

β€œHe delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 147

Meaning

The psalm relativizes military capacity and bodily performance as objects of ultimate confidence.

Read carefully

The verse rejects reliance on physical and military power as grounds of divine favor; it does not condemn healthy strength or ability.

Reflection

Refuse to equate human worth with military power, athletic performance, fitness, or able-bodiedness.
