Contradiction with Psalms 20:7
Psalms 20:7 contradicts Psalms 33:17 by acknowledging trust in chariots and horses by some, whereas Psalms 33:17 dismisses reliance on horses for deliverance.
Psalms 20:7: Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Contradiction with Proverbs 21:31
Proverbs 21:31 suggests that safety can be prepared through the horse in battle, contrasting Psalms 33:17 which states the horse provides no deliverance.
Proverbs 21:31: The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the LORD. [safety: or, victory]
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in Psalm 33:17 could be about relying on physical strength or military power for protection and security. This might conflict with the idea of having faith in spiritual or divine support rather than material might. The verse suggests that ultimate safety doesn't come from physical strength or weapons, but this can seem inconsistent in a world where such things are often necessary for defense and security.
