Psalms 33:12-21

¹²Blessed is the folk, whose Lord is his God; the people which he chose into heritage to himself.

¹³The Lord beheld from heaven; he saw all the sons of men.

¹⁴From his dwelling place made ready before; he beheld on all men, that inhabit the earth.

¹⁵Which made singularly, either each by himself, the souls of them; which understandeth all the works of them.

¹⁶A king is not saved by much virtue, that is, strength; and a giant shall not be saved in the muchliness of his virtue.

¹⁷An horse is false to health; for-sooth he shall not be saved in the abundance, either plenty, of his virtue.

¹⁸Lo! the eyes of the Lord be on men dreading him; and in them that hope in his mercy.

¹⁹That he deliver their souls from death; and feed them in hunger.

²⁰Our soul suffereth the Lord, that is, abideth patiently his will; for he is our helper and defender.

²¹For our heart shall be glad in him; and we shall have hope in his holy name.
