Contradiction with Proverbs 21:31
This verse contradicts Psalms 3:8 by suggesting victory depends on human preparation and military strength, rather than solely on the Lord as in Psalms 3:8.
Proverbs 21:31: The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the LORD. [safety: or, victory]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5
This verse implies that trusting in human strength brings a curse, whereas Psalms 3:8 suggests salvation and deliverance come from the Lord, highlighting where true reliance should lie.
Jeremiah 17:5: Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
This verse contradicts by suggesting outcomes like success don't always depend on divine intervention as Psalms 3:8 implies, giving examples like time and chance.
Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Contradiction with Isaiah 31:1
This verse contradicts the reliance on God for salvation in Psalms 3:8 by warning against seeking help from worldly armies instead of the Lord.
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 Matthew 26:52
This verse implies that resorting to violence (human intervention in battle) leads to destruction, contrasting Psalms 3:8's indication that deliverance comes purely from the Lord.
Matthew 26:52: Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
