¹² Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord,
   the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.

¹³ The Lord looks down from heaven;
   he sees all humankind.
¹⁴ From where he sits enthroned he watches
   all the inhabitants of the earth—
¹⁵ he who fashions the hearts of them all,
   and observes all their deeds.
¹⁶ A king is not saved by his great army;
   a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
¹⁷ The war horse is a vain hope for victory,
   and by its great might it cannot save.

¹⁸ Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
   on those who hope in his steadfast love,
¹⁹ to deliver their soul from death,
   and to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ Our soul waits for the Lord;
   he is our help and shield.
²¹ Our heart is glad in him,
   because we trust in his holy name.
²² Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
   even as we hope in you.
