Context of Psalms 33:15
13From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; 14from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth— he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. 16No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. 17A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
