Psalms 33:19
17 A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
18 Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
