12: Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

13: The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

14: From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15: He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

16: There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17: An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18: Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

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

20: Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

21: For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

22: Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
