Context of Psalms 33:19
17A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory; despite its great strength, it cannot deliver. 18Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness by saving their lives from death and sustaining them during times of famine. 20We wait for the Lord; he is our deliverer and shield. 21For our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name.
