Psalm 33:16
“There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 33Meaning
A king is not saved by the size of his army, and a warrior is not delivered by great strength; political and military power are limited and cannot become objects of ultimate trust.
God sees; power cannot save
Verses 13–17 portray God seeing all humanity and every heart, then deny that kings, warriors, armies, or horses can guarantee deliverance.
Read carefully
A king is not saved by the size of his army, and a warrior is not delivered by great strength; political and military power are limited and cannot become objects of ultimate trust.
Reflection
A king is not saved by the size of his army, and a warrior is not delivered by great strength; political and military power are limited and cannot become objects of ultimate trust.
