Some trust in their war chariots and others in their horses, but we trust in the power of the LORD our God.

War horses are useless for victory; their great strength cannot save.

His pleasure is not in strong horses, nor his delight in brave soldiers;

but he takes pleasure in those who honor him, in those who trust in his constant love.
