Psalm 33:17-19
New English Translation

17 A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory;[a]
despite its great strength, it cannot deliver.
18 Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers,[b]
those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness[c]
19 by saving their lives from death[d]
and sustaining them during times of famine.[e]
