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

Verse 17 is found in chapter 33 of Psalms. Psalm 33 is a communal hymn connecting creation, providence, and Israel’s history. God creates through his word and also frustrates the plans of nations, showing that his will remains above human projects. The people’s security does not depend on the size of their army or the strength of the horse, but on the merciful gaze of the Lord upon those who wait for him.

Rosse helfen auch nicht, und ihre große Stärke errettet nicht.
Vanidad es el caballo para salvarse: Por la grandeza de su fuerza no librará.
El caballo es una falsa esperanza para la salvación; su gran vigor no puede librar.
Le cheval est impuissant pour assurer le salut, Et toute sa vigueur ne donne pas la délivrance.
Il cavallo è cosa fallace per salvare, E non può liberare colla grandezza della sua possa.
O cavalo é falaz para a segurança; não livra ninguém com a sua grande força.
靠馬得救是枉然的, 馬也不能因力大救人。
