14. From the place where he lives he looks carefullyat all the earth’s inhabitants.
15. He is the one who forms every human heart,and takes note of all their actions.
16. No king is delivered by his vast army;a warrior is not saved by his great might.
17. A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory;despite its great strength, it cannot deliver.
18. Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers,those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness
19. by saving their lives from deathand sustaining them during times of famine.
20. We wait for the Lord;he is our deliverer and shield.
21. For our hearts rejoice in him,for we trust in his holy name.
22. May we experience your faithfulness, O Lord,for we wait for you.
