³¹ The horse is prepared against the day of battle; But victory is of Jehovah.

¹ Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!

⁷ Some `trust' in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

⁸ Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. Selah Psalm 4 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

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;

²³ Truly in vain is `the help that is looked for' from the hills, the tumult on the mountains: truly in Jehovah our God is the salvation of Israel.

¹¹ I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

¹⁰ He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹⁰ Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

²⁰ God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.

³ But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.
