Psalm 33:16 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 33.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!

13 The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.

14 From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.

15 He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.

16 No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.

17 A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.

18 Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion

19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
