12. Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!
13. Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
14. From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15. He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
16. The king is not saved by the multitude of his forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17. The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
18. Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
19. To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20. Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.
21. For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.
