14 From the place where he sits enthroned, he looks down upon all who live on earth.
15 The one who formed their hearts understands everything they do.
16 No king achieves a victory with a large army. No warrior rescues himself by his own great strength.
17 Horses are not a guarantee for victory. Their great strength cannot help someone escape.
18 The LORD's eyes are on those who fear him, on those who wait with hope for his mercy
19 to rescue their souls from death and keep them alive during a famine.
20 We wait for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts find joy. In his holy name we trust.
22 Let your mercy rest on us, O LORD, since we wait with hope for you.

Psalm 33:14-22 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 33

Though this psalm has no title to it, it seems to be a psalm of David, from the style and matter of it; and indeed begins with the same words with which the preceding psalm is ended. Theodoret is of opinion it was written by David as a prophecy concerning Hezekiah, as a song to be sung by the people after the destruction of the Assyrian army.
