"Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy" (Psalm 107:2). "The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD" (Proverbs 21:31). "Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and stay on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!" (Isaiah 31:1).
The proverbial horse may be well prepared
On which men have placed confidence,
But horsemen are hopeless when they're running scared
Because they forsook God's defense.
The Lord has redeemed from the enemy's hand
His people who trust in His arm.
Our safety thus rests in the sovereign command
Of Him who has kept us from harm.
O Lord, we have trusted in You for salvation;
You rescued our souls from despair!
How hopeless indeed is the false expectation
Of safety apart from Your care!
