Only God can save

Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. 1 In the Lord alone are deliverance and strength. 2

For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God? 3

Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the LORD. 4 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trusts in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the LORD. The Egyptians are mere mortals and not God; their horses are flesh and not spirit. 5

No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death. 6

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. 7
