Psa 147:10 | MHM | STEP | v. 10–11 : God is pleased not by human strength, but by those who trust and respect Him. He delights not in the strength of the horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of a man (Psalm 147:10 ). God is not impressed by strong armies or powerful people. What God values is a person who fears Him and hopes in His mercy (Psalm 147:11 ). To fear God and hope in His kindness should be in our hearts at the same time. Our respect for God keeps us humble, and our hope in Him gives us confidence. Trusting in God’s mercy is very pleasing to Him, because it brings Him honor when we rely on His goodness.

God is not impressed by strong armies or powerful people. What God values is a person who fears Him and hopes in His mercy (Psalm 147:11 ^b). To fear God and hope in His kindness should be in our hearts at the same time. Our respect for God keeps us humble, and our hope in Him gives us confidence. Trusting in God’s mercy is very pleasing to Him, because it brings Him honor when we rely on His goodness.
