11The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!
13Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
14From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
16The king is not saved by the multitude of his forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
18Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.
21For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.
