There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
Only the righteous can truly praise God, for unbelievers who have never tasted His goodness cannot speak His glory from the heart. When the ungodly attempt this exercise, they profane His holy name rather than honor it.

Commenting on Psalm 33:1-22
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host. Mortal power is a fiction, and those who trust in it are dupes. Serried ranks of armed men have failed to maintain an empire, or even to save their monarch's life when a decree from the court of heaven has gone forth for the empire's overthrow.
Though God's residence is in the highest heavens, thence He sees all things and all persons; not the least thought can escape His observation. He fashioned every heart and still moulds them, turning them whichever way He pleases to serve His own purposes.
