What does Psalms 147:10-11 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

God does not take pleasure in the symbols of strength that impress humans. He sees and delights in what demonstrates true spiritual strength, namely, trust in Himself. This makes Him praiseworthy.
"It is an awesome thought that we can bring pleasure to the heart of the heavenly Father ( Psalm 35:27; Psalm 37:23; Psalm 149:4)." [1]
