¹⁸ Lo! the eyes of the Lord be on men dreading him; and in them that hope in his mercy. (Behold! the eyes of the Lord (be) upon those who fear, (or who obey, him); and upon those who hope for his mercy./Behold! the eyes of the Lord (be) upon those who revere him; and upon those who trust in his love.)

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

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