Psalms 147:10

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

He delighteth {H2654} not in the strength {H1369} of the horse {H5483}: he taketh not pleasure {H7521} in the legs {H7785} of a man {H376}.

He takes no delight in the strength of a horse, no pleasure in a runner's speed.

He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legpower of the man.

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
