Psalms 147:12
10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legpower of the man.
11 The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.
Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!
13 For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.
14 He makes peace at your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat.
