Psalm 147:10-12

10 [a]He takes no pleasure in the strength of the horse,

11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,
    those who place their hope in his kindness.
12 [b]Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
    Glorify your God, O Zion!

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 147:10 Arrogant reliance on one’s own natural ability is both futile (see Am 2:14f) and displeasing to God, who comes to the aid of those who trust only in him (see Pss 20:8f; 33:16-18; Eccl 9:11; Mal 3:16f). Kindness: see note on Ps 6:5.
  2. Psalm 147:12 The psalmist stresses that God is to be praised because he has brought about restoration, security, peace, and prosperity, for he alone commands the forces of nature.
