詩編 33:17

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

A horse [is] a vain thing for safety,.... Though it is prepared for the day of battle, and is a very warlike creature, and of great service in war, yet safety only is of the Lord, Proverbs 21:31; this is put for all kinds of military preparations which men are apt to trust in, but should not, for they are "a lie" i, as the horse is here said to be; that is, deceives and disappoints when trusted to; in like manner the olive is said "to lie", Habakkuk 3:17; when hope of fruit from it is disappointed; so "fundus mendax" in Horace k;

neither shall he deliver [any] by his great strength; in the time of battle; either by fighting for him, or fleeing with him.

i שקר "mendacium", Pagninus, Montanus; "fallax", V. L. k Epod. l. 1. Ode 16. ver. 45. Carmin. l. 3. Ode 1. v. 30. "Spem mentita seges", ib. Epist. l. 1. ep. 7. v. 87.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

An horse - The reference here is undoubtedly to the war-horse. See the notes at Psalms 20:7.

Is a vain thing - literally, is a “lie.” That is, he cannot be confided in.

For safety - For securing safety in battle. He is liable to be stricken down, or to become wild and furious so as to be beyond the control of his rider; and however strong or fleet he may be, or however well he may be “broken,” yet none of these things make it certain that the rider will be safe. God is the only being in whom perfect confidence can be reposed.

Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength - Safety cannot be found in his mere “strength,” however great that may be. These illustrations are all designed to lead the mind to the great idea that safety is to be found in God alone, Psalms 33:18-19.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 33:17. A horse is a vain thing for safety — Even the horse, with all his fleetness, is no sure means of escape from danger: the lion or the tiger can overtake him or he may stumble, fall, and destroy his rider.
