Contradiction with Proverbs 21:31
This verse emphasizes the value of the horse prepared for battle, whereas Psalms 147:10 suggests God does not take pleasure in the strength of the horse.

Contradiction with Isaiah 31:1
Here, reliance on horses is criticized for those going down to Egypt for help, contrasting with Psalms 147:10, which implies God does not take delight in horses or human power alone.
Isaiah 31:1: 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!
Contradiction with Exodus 15:1
This verse celebrates the Lord's triumph over the Egyptians' horses, differing from Psalms 147:10 as it doesn't focus on the strength of horses but on God's victory over them.
Exodus 15:1: Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 10:28-29
Solomon's import of horses is noted as a sign of wealth and power, counter to Psalms 147:10, which suggests God does not take pleasure in horse strength.
1 Kings 10:28-29: And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price. [And Solomon...: Heb. And the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 4:13
This verse describes the strength of horses metaphorically in a foreboding way, contrasting with Psalms 147:10, where the Lord's delight is not in horse strength.
Jeremiah 4:13: Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
Paradox #1
The verse you're referring to emphasizes that God's delight is not in physical strength or human abilities. A potential contradiction or inconsistency could be seen when compared to other parts of the Bible that highlight the importance of strength and power, such as stories of warriors or leaders chosen by God for their might or bravery. This might seem contradictory if interpreted to mean God favors strength in those instances but not in others. However, it's often understood that the broader message is about God valuing faith and character over physical prowess. It's important to consider different contexts and interpretations to resolve such seeming contradictions.
