³¹ The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

¹ Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay 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 the LORD!

⁷ Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

⁸ Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

¹⁷ An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

¹⁸ Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

²³ Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD 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 favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

¹⁰ He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹⁰ It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

²⁰ He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.

³ But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
