Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.

A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep [of death].

He does not delight in the strength (military power) of the horse,
Nor does He take pleasure in the legs (strength) of a man.
