Blessed is that nation whose God is the Lord :
the people he chose to be his own possession.
The Lord looks down from heaven
and surveys all the children of men :
he considers from his dwelling-place
all the inhabitants of the earth;
He who fashioned the hearts of them all :
and comprehends all that they do.
A king is not saved by a mighty army :
nor is a warrior delivered by much strength;
A horse is a vain hope to save a man :
nor can he rescue any by his great power.
But the eye of the Lord is on those that fear him :
on those that trust in his unfailing love,
To deliver them from death :
and to feed them in the time of dearth.
We have waited eagerly for the Lord :
for he is our help and our shield.
Surely our hearts shall rejoice in him :
for we have trusted in his holy name.
Let your merciful kindness be upon us, O Lord :
even as our hope is in you.
