16A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.
17A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.
18See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;
19To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.
20Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.
