12. Ashrei is the Goy whose Elohav is Hashem; and HaAm whom He hath chosen for His own nachalah.
13. Hashem looketh down from Shomayim: He beholdeth kol Bnei HaAdam.
14. From the place of His habitation He looketh upon kol yoshvei ha'aretz.
15. He formeth their hearts yachad; He considereth all their ma'asim (deeds).
16. There is no melech saved by the multitude of an army; a gibbor is not delivered by rav ko'ach.
17. A sus is a sheker (vain, false thing) for teshu'ah (deliverance, salvation, safety); neither shall it save any by its great strength.
18. Hinei, the eye of Hashem is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His chesed;
19. To deliver their nefesh from mavet (death), and to keep them alive in ra'av (famine).
20. Our nefesh waiteth for Hashem; He is ezrienu (our help) and moginneinu (our shield).
21. For libeinu (our heart) shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted b'Shem Kadsho (in His holy Name).
22. Let Thy chesed, Hashem, be upon us, even as we have hoped in Thee.
