Context of Psalms 33:14
12Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. 13Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men; From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth, 15He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works. 16There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
