Psalms 33:17 in Context — Psalms 33

15 Lui qui forme leur cœur à tous, Qui est attentif à toutes leurs actions.

16 Ce n’est pas une grande armée qui sauve le roi, Ce n’est pas une grande force qui délivre le héros;

17 Le cheval est impuissant pour assurer le salut, Et toute sa vigueur ne donne pas la délivrance.

18 Voici, l’œil de l’Éternel est sur ceux qui le craignent, Sur ceux qui espèrent en sa bonté,

19 Afin d’arracher leur âme à la mort Et de les faire vivre au milieu de la famine.
