詩編 33:16

span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.33.1" class="versetxt"> 1 正しき者よ、主によって喜べ、さんびは直き者にふさわしい。2 琴をもって主をさんびせよ、十弦の立琴をもって主をほめたたえよ。3 新しい歌を主にむかって歌い、喜びの声をあげて巧みに琴をかきならせ。4 主のみことばは直く、そのすべてのみわざは真実だからである。5 主は正義と公平とを愛される。地は主のいつくしみで満ちている。6 もろもろの天は主のみことばによって造られ、天の万軍は主の口の息によって造られた。7 主は海の水を水がめの中に集めるように集め、深い淵を倉におさめられた。8 全地は主を恐れ、世に住むすべての者は主を恐れかしこめ。9 主が仰せられると、そのようになり、命じられると、堅く立ったからである。10 主はもろもろの国のはかりごとをむなしくし、もろもろの民の企てをくじかれる。11 主のはかりごとはとこしえに立ち、そのみこころの思いは世々に立つ。12 主をおのが神とする国はさいわいである。主がその嗣業として選ばれた民はさいわいである。13 主は天から見おろされ、すべての人の子らを見、14 そのおられる所から地に住むすべての人をながめられる。15 主はすべて彼らの心を造り、そのすべてのわざに心をとめられる。16 王はその軍勢の多きによって救を得ない。勇士はその力の大いなるによって助けを得ない。17 馬は勝利に頼みとならない。その大いなる力も人を助けることはできない。18 見よ、主の目は主を恐れる者の上にあり、そのいつくしみを望む者の上にある。19 これは主が彼らの魂を死から救い、ききんの時にも生きながらえさせるためである。20 われらの魂は主を待ち望む。主はわれらの助け、われらの盾である。21 われらは主の聖なるみ名に信頼するがゆえに、われらの心は主にあって喜ぶ。22 主よ、われらが待ち望むように、あなたのいつくしみをわれらの上にたれてください。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host,.... He may be at the head of a numerous army, and yet not get the victory over a lesser one, nor escape safe, but be taken by it: there have been such instances; and if he is saved, or gets the victory, it is not owing to the multitude with him, but to the Lord, that gives salvation to kings,

Psalms 144:10. Hence it appears that even such men need salvation themselves, and cannot save themselves, though they have ever so many at command, and therefore are not to be trusted in; salvation is only of the Lord;

a mighty man is not delivered by much strength; as Goliath, with his great strength, could not deliver himself out of the hands of David, a stripling; wherefore the mighty man should not glory in his might.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host - By the number of his armies. His safety, however numerous and mighty may be his forces, is in God alone. He is the great Protector, whatever means men may use to defend themselves. The most numerous and the best organized armies cannot secure a victory. It is, after all, wholly in the hands of God. A wasting sickness in a camp may defeat all the plans of war; or success in battle may depend on contingencies which no commander could anticipate or provide against. A mutiny in a camp, or a panic on the battlefield, may disconcert the best-laid schemes; or forces may come against an army that were unexpected; or storm and tempest may disarrange and frustrate the entire plan of the campaign. See Ecclesiastes 9:11.

A mighty man - A strong man; a giant - as Goliath of Gath. “Strength” is not the only thing necessary to secure a victory.

Is not delivered by much strength - By the mere fact that he is strong. Other things are needed to ensure success; and God has power so to arrange events that mere strength shall be of no avail.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 33:16. There is no king saved by the multitude of a host — Even in the midst of the most powerful and numerous army, no king is in safety unless he have God's protection. A king is but a man, and may as easily lose his life as one of his common soldiers.

A mighty man is not delivered by much strength. — There are times in which his might can be of no avail to him: and unless the mighty, the wise, the honorable, &c., have the protection of God, there is no time in which their might may not be turned into weakness, their wisdom into folly, and their dignity into disgrace.
