Psalm 33:13-17

Good News Translation

¹³ The Lord looks down from heaven
    and sees all of us humans.
¹⁴ From where he rules, he looks down
    on all who live on earth.
¹⁵ He forms all their thoughts
    and knows everything they do.

^16 (A)A king does not win because of his powerful army;
    a soldier does not triumph because of his strength.
¹⁷ War horses are useless for victory;
    their great strength cannot save.
