Psalms 33:12-21

¹²O the happiness of the nation whose God is Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.

¹³From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.

¹⁴From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;

¹⁵Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.

¹⁶The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

¹⁷A false thing is the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

¹⁸Lo, the eye of Jehovah is to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

¹⁹To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield is He,

²¹For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
